If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!

Well, I think I may have found it. A new theme. It’s being tested over at the test blog. Click on over and leave a comment telling me what you think. I really like it, but don’t let that influence you. The header will obviously have to be tinkered with/changed, but what about the rest?

I am nobility 0

Posted on July 24, 2008 by Gideon

Some believe that the real 13th Amendment is the Titles of Nobility Amendment that stripped people of their citizenship upon acceptance of titles of nobility. Thus, “Esquire” is also a title of nobility (which it has never been) and therefore, the entire judicial system is illegal (since none of us lawyers are citizens). So, people argue, they don’t have to pay taxes or they can’t be convicted of crimes. I can’t figure out which is more amusing: this or the claim that the 14th Amendment is illegal. Here’s a good debunking of TONA.
