Life, liberty, property

In the zombie apocalypse I hear the cries of humanity.

We only wish to to be left alone. We maintain our natural right to defend our families and lands, and will use whatever instruments to repel all encroachments. We longed for autonomy from the government, from the State as nanny and nursemaid, and we are granted this providence, as the government is no more. With the government off our backs, we may develop our natural gifts as we see fit: through the bounty of our women, the schooling of our children, and the cultivation of our land. A threat to us remains, but now the threat is simple and clear.
