B...Yes, according to the Bible, blackmail is wrong. But there are jurisdictions of authority, and I am leaning more and more towards thinking that the government's sole jurisdiction is to protect and defend its people. Now you could argue that protecting someone from blackmail is defending them. I won't argue with that. The point of this article is that the government is too involved in our every day lives, and that the logic of capitalism will constrain misdemeanors like blackmail if it's allowed to thrive. But now that capitalism has been chained, laws HAVE to be made to control because free market capitalism is not allowed to do it's job. It's a vicious cycle that ends in socialism.<br /><br />Thanks for listening to my rant :) I love you too! I mainly posted this article to get people thinking.

Interesting article.
He makes some good p...Hi Kate!<br />Interesting article.<br />He makes some good points.<br />I wonder what the Bible says though about blackmail.<br />This man is not coming from a Christian perspective of course.<br />But we can.<br />Do you think the Bible says that blackmail is wrong?<br />I don't know.<br />Worth researching.<br />I totally agree with the government having too many laws and needing to get out of citizens' lives!<br />But I do think that the government is to look out for the safety of children in factories at least, don't you?<br />Just thinking........<br />Love you!<br />MomName on His Handhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18081502040635491399noreply@blogger.com
