Manifesto
As I am a Christian and as such will continue in my Christian beliefs and expect myself to live in the confines of orthodox Biblical Christianity, seeking like minded believers.
As I am an adult responsible for providing for myself, I will live, invest, and save in the expectation that no-one can or should support me.
As the power to tax is the power to destroy, I will do everything in my power to legally minimize the amount of taxes that I have to pay.
As the growth of government is the growth of the ability to control the individual and impede freedom, I will do all I legally can to slow or deny this growth.
As physical fitness enables all other aspects of life, I will do all in my power to maintain my body in as healthy and strong a state as I can.
As privacy is the ability to live one’s life free from interference and oversight, I will do all in my power to eschew public and social media attention.
As money is the ability to act in an economic world, I will buy only that which is needed and planned for, buy used before new where sensible and possible, and seek to use, reuse, and extend the life of all items I own as long as possible.
As independence from the cash and debt based economic system is the ability to act freely, I will seek minimize my needs and to provide as much of them as is possible.
As we have become a society which values number of contacts over the depth of those contacts and has given those contacts the right to judge the individual, I will seek to narrow my relationships to like minded individuals with whom I share an active, ongoing involvement instead those based on a distant, social media relationship or those who feel even a vague acquaintance gives them the right to judge my fitness to participate in society.
As as student of Iaijutsu, I will seek to continue to train my body and my mind to live in harmony with the precepts of my art, seeking the enlightenment that comes from truly understanding the heart of its teachings.
