I appreciate your profile until you start with Christianity. To me it seems like closing the eyes, when someone talks about "all the time" for north America (or the land where the USA is today) and writes as if the roots of this land lay in a respectful founding of a christian land.

It seems quiet sarcastic, when taking into account the history, of how these lands were conquered with no respect towards native American communities. Many efforts have been made (and have been mostly successful) to commit genocide against those communities. I know it is easy to create an imagination of a far past, where everything was great. But this gives no truth to this imagination.

So what I want to say in a summary. I doubt, that there have been large groups of strong proponents of this great vision you describe of voluntaryist or anarchist, which value freedom of the individual above all. But I think it is more important to create a common vision, how our reality could be, instead of heroifying historic persona, where we lack proof of these ideals.

I never claimed that the founders tried for an anarchist/ Voluntaryist society. I also didn't claim that we made no mistakes as a nation.

As I stated on my home page of my web site:

"The vast majority of Nations have been created by war, displacement, migration, colonization, genocide, and various other means that we can generalize with one word: Brutality. How is that any different from what we see happening in the world today? We in the west are no better than those in the east when it comes to imposing our will upon others. Nations are controlled by those best able to impose their will on others. The American people have subjugated many peoples and seized their lands for our own. So have the British, the French, the Saudi's, the Russians, the Chinese, and EVERY OTHER NATION in the world. This is the nature of the birth and continuance of a nation."

The US has made many bad decisions over the years. In my profile I was discussing what philosophical, religious, and moral framework was used when forming our nation. I think that as a nation we have turned away from God and his will. I think this is the biggest underlying cause of the decay in the US (and the rest of the western world).
