PART 5:
Government should only be big enough to protect life liberty and property. It should matter little VERY LITTLE in the day to day.
Knowing this isn’t practical. If government existed it only useful form, a necessary evil, a limited scope system to ward of the Stalins, Keynes and Marx of the world. If we the people could re-establish a limited government, should women get to vote?
Not because they don’t matter but because Voting would matter way less. The government, which is always a gun, goes from pointing at us to pointing outward to any who would threaten life, liberty and property. A gun that only men carry the responsibility for. In such a world voting would be again be the promise to lay one’s life down for a friend. In such a world should women, who don’t pay the price, participate in the decision for who will send a nation to war?
Should your friend who you let sleep on your couch choose where you go on vacation and what you do with your bonus check?
