Stated Goals

This blog has a goal to create a self-sufficient Township, where liberty minded people can enjoy a life free from harassment by local government. We have set up a donate tab, and we need writers to post to make this blog more popular. We have 3 donation tiers at this time: A donation of $5,000 or more assures you a lot in the township upon finalisation; $500 will get you a lot when the Township expands (assuming it does); $50 will get you consideration when and if there are extra lots available. If you donate any of the amounts mentioned (or more), please ensure that your contact information is available, so that we can inform you when things get moving. Everything is on a first come, first considered basis, so if you are the first to donate $50, you will get first consideration when that tier is reached, and so on. NOTE: You are not purchasing anything, you are contributing money to help establish a new self-sufficient township, and as such, all promotions are based on goal realisation.

Just a Thought About What Laws Really Do


"Good people do not need laws to tell them to act responsibly, while bad people will find a way around the laws." ~ Plato 

Good people are good, and will do good things, and if they chose to do bad things the laws will not stop them, because they had no choice. For example if a good persons child is starving, and they can not figure out any other way to feed the child short of stealing something. The good person may engage in an immoral act of theft, because letting their child starve would be even more immoral, but no law would ever stop them from doing so.

Bad people will ponder over ways around the laws, so that they can conduct the immoral actions without any punishment. They will figure out ways to steal and not be punished. This causes harm to good people, but the good people because laws prevent them are discouraged from doing anything about it. 

What laws end up doing then is protecting bad people, allowing them to do as they please to good people. Good people thinking that following the law is the most moral thing to do, do not seek justice for themselves. Laws therefore cause injustices to be committed, and no punishment to befall the one committing the injustice. 

However without laws the same good people will continue to do good things, and when a bad person preys upon them that person will be stopped and a reasonable punishment bestowed upon them. How do I know the punishment will be reasonable? They are good people, and no good person would want to bestow an unjust punishment on any other person. When some good person does a immoral thing, because they saw no other way, than a just punishment would also befall them. We have good people being punished for the slightest of indiscretions, and bad people who gave their actions a whole lot more thought getting away with their indiscretions.
