Consider the Zero Aggression Principle

On the previous screen, you indicated a willingness to use government force to impose your personal preferences on others and have others do the same to you. You believe persuasion won’t work. Even worse, the other side may prefer a solution you dislike. You want to impose your superior plan on them (good and hard) before they can force their terrible scheme on you.

That explains what we see all around us. Everyone hates everyone else because of politics. Mutual hatred is inevitable when people use politics to impose things on each other. But…

You don’t use violence to get your way in your personal life, so why behave differently when it comes to politics?

If you find that question compelling, read the letter to Congress (below) about the Zero Aggression Principle. If it makes sense to you, send it. Or…

Test the implications of the Zero Aggression Principle. Our Aggression Tracker helps you discover your “AQ” (Aggression Quotient). You disagreed with these issues while taking the World’s Smallest Political Quiz. Choose one…

Subject:

I want you to obey the Zero Aggression Principle

Suggested Text:

I live by the Zero Aggression Principle (the ZAP), which says "Don't aggress against others, personally or politically." You claim to represent me, so I want you to live by the Zero Aggression Principle too.

The personal aspect of the ZAP is something you already agree and comply with unless you're a sociopath. You don't use aggression in your daily life. You don't use threats and violence to impose your personal preferences on other people against their will. So all I'm asking you to do is extend that behavior to your work as a legislator.

When considering legislation always ask yourself this question: Does this bill aggress against Americans or defend them against aggression? If the bill defends Americans from acts of aggression then it complies with both the Zero Aggression Principle and the definition of legitimate governance provided in the Declaration of Independence. That means it will also comply with the Bill of Rights, including the crucial but neglected 9th Amendment. So obeying the ZAP is a necessary part of honoring your constitutional oath of office.

I will be encouraging you more and more to move in this direction. I hope to see you respond positively. You haven't heard the last from me on this issue.
