The first national canton, the Dolphin canton

Today I am announcing the creation of the first national (US) canton, the Dolphin canton, whose colors are blue and yellow. The principles of the canton are libertarian. The honorary champion is Ron Paul. The first order of business is to gather members.

At the same time I am encouraging others to create similar cantons, of varying political persuasions, and with their own honorary champions. Anyone who is interested in doing this, please message me and we will have a Zoom call to discuss how to proceed.

Finally, when at least six national cantons have been created, we will establish a national canton forum. The member cantons will have two committees: one to grow their membership, and the second to begin analyzing the national expenditures to determine which the members of their canton would continue to fund, and which they would no longer fund. The ultimate aim of this nascent forum would be the eventual replacement of the national representative body, the House of Representatives. Bold? Damn right! With the national economy circling the drain, there is no time to lose.

Why government?

The purpose of government is to allow people to cooperate in accomplishing deeds that the majority find necessary.

The Principle of Subsidiarity in action

Federations are a manifestation of the natural law principle of subsidiarity. The Dolphin canton takes this principle very seriously. What that means practically is that, whenever any national government program is being reviewed, the first question asked will be: can this be better handled at a lower level of government (such as the state, county, municipality, or perhaps outside of government altogether)? If the question is answered in the affirmative, the canton will not be supporting the program at the national level, though it may support whatever assistance may be needed to transfer the program to whatever level may be judged more appropriate. Isn't this making things worse for the taxpayer? Probably not. National programs such as Medicare are so rife with corruption that pushing the program down to a lower level will probably result in better oversight. In addition, this provides the possibility of innovation, which a single top-heavy national program will squelch. Economies of ...

Dolphin canton does not support government support for abortion providers

One of the top stories in the news today is about the US Supreme Court hearing arguments of an abortion case that may result in a reversal of Roe v Wade. As the interim champion of the Dolphin canton [1], I would not support government giving money to Planned Parenthood. It should be clear that opposition to abortion will never go away, which means that Roe v Wade, like Plessy v Ferguson (1886), went beyond where the people really stand on the issues. Plessy v Ferguson allowed segregated schools in some instances. This was reversed by Brown v Board of Education (1954).

There are two things in my mind that make it impossible to accept the right of abortion. First, it is clear from biology that the very first cell produced by the joining of the sperm and egg cells (the zygote) has a genetic signature different from both parents. This continues to be true throughout the period where it is called an embryo until the birth of a new human being. Therefore, the fetus is not part of the woman, but ...
