"Just what do YOU do for a living?"

Sorry, I overlooked that one. I do whatever others value sufficiently to VOLUNTARILY pay me to do. At this time, I create marketing materials for private businesses and when that activity is slow, I build things and repair things.


"What sort of contribution have YOU provided to this nation which (I assume, else you'd have moved to another country a long time ago) you profess to love?"

I try to promote and preserve our legacy of Liberty in any way that I can. Unfortunately, the government has strayed so far from the 'Chains of the Constitution' (by which it was supposed to be bound) that it has lost any claim to legitimacy. I do love my country, because it is the ONLY one in man's history that was founded to protect the Liberty of its sovereign citizens.

To answer the implied (by the capitalization of "YOU") claim, "I did more than you did" - IF you honored your oath to uphold and defend the Constitution of the United States by obeying only strictly Constitutional orders and disobeying all that were not strictly Constitutional, you have my thanks. If that was not the case, then you have contributed, either by action or omission, to the erosion of that Liberty the protection of which is the sole reason (read the Declaration of Independence) for the existence of any legitimate post-revolutionary American government.
