If I didn't realize you were joking, you would have lost all credibility.

My post was originally going to be about 4 times as long because a thought struck me right in the middle of typing out my response.
The government is unique in that it is the only entity that I can think of that deals with problems that would not exist if it weren't for its own creation. Take taxes for instance. The concept of taxation doesn't occur within nature. Tax evasion wouldn't exist if there were no such thing as taxes, because, as I've said, people don't just occasionally pay taxes on their own without being made to. The entire existence of the IRS is solely for taxes. Taxes are solely to support the government. Supposedly the concept of government is for the people. You really have to ask yourself though, how many government programs exist today, just for the support of some other government program. The entity that relies most heavily on government, is the government itself. It's no wonder it seems like government is always making changes to try and get the public to depend on government.
Anyone else notice its ironic, the fed files a lawsuit against the state of AZ for requiring officers to enforce a federal law.... uh circle jerk anyone?
"I, _____, do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; and that I will obey the orders of the President of the United States and the orders of the officers appointed over me, according to regulations and the Uniform Code of Military Justice. So help me God."
"I, _____ (SSAN), having been appointed an officer in the Army of the United States, as indicated above in the grade of _____ do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign or domestic, that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservations or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office upon which I am about to enter; So help me God."
Draw your own conclusions.
