THE LEASH
The only reason for governance, or governments if you will, is to serve the public; us! Never, ever forget this. If you have never understood this absolute or lose sight of it from time to time, then put it to memory. It is the fundamental foundation upon which all men, especially free men, rest their liberties and their lives. Take these words literally!
This brings me to the problem of how to convey to those of you who can’t see the wisdom and necessity of a constitution, its crucial importance to our society. Think of government as a dog. You know, a real dog (ie. over 50 lbs). Most dog owners, be they families, single women, businesses, etc. want a dog for company yes, but primarily as an early warning system and first line of defense against intruders. Fido lays around taking up space and food, and shedding until that knock at the door, warning bark of the neighborhood hound-watch program or imperceptible sound that only they can hear, then he springs into action; barking, snarling, gnashing of teeth and pouncing on you eager to alert you to the threat; ultimately protecting his meal-ticket. Yes, they become fast friends with the kids and are propounded with much love and treats, but all the while their true purpose is to shield and protect, is it not? This brings us to the leash.
All dog owners know what it is to take the hound for a walk to take care of business. It’s the time when Fido starts to feel his oats and gets downright uppity. “Sit Fido, sit!” “No, don’t chase that cat, come back here!” “Drop that kid’s ice-cream cone.” “Don’t run from me, get back here.” “Don’t you dare bare your teeth at me you mange mutt!” Anyway, you get the picture.
If not for that leash, what control would we have? Ask any dog trainer. That leash is your tool, your control of your trusty servant; which without ol’ trusty probably wouldn’t pay you much mind; if he pays you any mind at all. And this is the simile I’m bringing to your attention. Think of a constitution as a leash. It’s the tool by which we, the People, maintain control of our dog, I mean government. Every time the government gets a little flighty and wants to run out-of-bounds; of the law, we need to jerk them back. Done so by showing them chapter and verse in the Constitution where it is the ‘Supreme Law of our Land,’ not the government! When Fido starts eating too much and can hardly get up to see, let alone bark at strangers anymore, then we need to tie him up away from the food bowl and exercise him more. You know, just stop giving them so much money and tell them to work harder; not just hire more and more dogs. And by God, when Fido starts thinking he’s the one in charge and snaps at you or the kids, then that’s when you grab your end of the leash and hang Fido by his scrawny neck until he remembers who serves who. Remember, the government (dog) serves the People (owners); not the other way around. Because when the dog is in charge, we’re the servant! Get it?
So, it’s high time that we take OUR Constitution, that proverbial leash and start using it; because if you read and study it you’ll see that it is a leash; one that has a handle on one end and a choker chain on the other. All you have to do is make sure you’re the one holding the handle. Because by God, if through ignorance or apathy, you let Fido get that noose around your neck, you can damn well kiss your liberties good-bye. To not read, study and exercise our Constitution is the surest way of placing the choker on oneself and handing the other end to the government; the dogs who will continually choke (oppress) you into submission or to death, if you are to resist. It’s a historical maxim.
