- This is from another site but needs to be shared IMO.I would agree that a major battle is being fought and the war is going on between governments as the requirements are flowing from the federal to state to county to cities - as moneys dry up the orders from on high will just be ignored IMO. This will eventually back up to the Federal government and the regulating agencies as one lower government at a time just treats the laws and regulations as void and null.The Central collective minded Federal government will then be required to make some choices - enforce the laws through legal actions in courts - ignore the lower governments actions - declare martial law dismissing legislatures and governors as Lincoln did after the civil war?The question will be - what will the citizens of the many states do - reject the Central collective and refuse to pay taxes - force the legislatures to hold an Article V convention to remove the Central collective governments powers? The last option is what the Founders spoke of as the last resort and that is to reject and destroy the usurped government by force of arms.In any case and any possible scenario the people must use some or any of the above options to correct the usurpation. The nation and the Republic has been raped and ruined and is due justice and punishment of the violators. IMO

- Democracy arises out of the notion that those who are equal in any respect are equal in all respects; because men are equally free, they claim to be absolutely equal.

- So I believe the hydraulic bicycle is an idea whoz time has come, what say U. Trying to devise a hydraulic, direct drive motor that can accommidate regen breaking, w/ high eff.May need a new thread for manufacturing, if we want to drag this out.

- Why not regen braking has been used in golf carts to extend range for years. Hydraulic power has been ignored as it requires more energy input than it can out put?

- Everything requires more input than U get out, otherwise it would be an over unity set up. Electric regen braking only recovers like 10-15% @ most. While I wouldn't expect more than 85% eff from a hydraulic set up (and even that would be high), regen braking would be the greatest benefit over other systems. UPS has been using a rear axle system to recover energy for a while now:http://jcwinnie.biz/wordpress/?p=3661Here is an app on sanitation trucks:The real kicker though is having more than one input source. Take a hydraulic gear pump, use one shaft for an electric motor, and the other for an internal combustion engine (ICE). (weed eater, chainsaw, R/C model) So in effect U will have four sources of charging the hydraulic system: pedal, electric, ICE, regen brake. It would be setup for a "universal" platform.The tube frame could store and transfer fluid pressure. This would require a TOTAL redesign of the basic bike, to the extent it may be classified as light motorcycle. Aerodynamics make a strong resistance above 28mph, so fairings would be considered to help as well as security (not uncommon for e-bikes to have a $1000 battery). Custom wheel motors would input through one side of the axle, and output through the other.If this tech is to make it to the consumer market, it will start small, and what is smaller than a bicycle? Mechanics will have an opp to get exp on these systems w/o having to work for the state.Have though of so many details of what should go n2 this, how interested are U in pondering this question?PS Hobbyking has a Li-ion battery that has the energy to go about 1.5mile for $20 apiece for cheap alt to pre assy bat packs.

- sounds interesting my only concern as an old guy is the total weight that I have to peddle when the thing runs out of energy and I am not home yet.

- “I have little interest in streamlining government or in making it more efficient, for I mean to reduce its size. I do not undertake to promote welfare, for I propose to extend freedom. My aim is not to pass laws, but to repeal them. It is not to inaugurate new programs, but to cancel old ones that do violence to the Constitution or that have failed their purpose, or that impose on the people an unwarranted financial burden. I will not attempt to discover whether legislation is ``needed'' before I have first determined whether it is constitutionally permissible. And if I should later be attacked for neglecting my constituents "interests,'' I shall reply that I was informed that their main interest is liberty and that in that cause I am doing the very best I can.”Barry Goldwater

- I will take issue with both you and Rob on the available remedies for the people under Article V.
I find nothing in the Constitution or Article V that prevents 38 States from creating an amendment as instructed by the people of the many States to say revoke the 14th, 16th and 17th amendments. Then this amendment is submitted to the vote for approval of 38 State legislatures for approval; after which it is resubmitted for a ratification vote by each State. If the amendment is so ratified then it is presented to Congress and it becomes the law of the land.
[or by Conventions in three fourths thereof, as the one or the other Mode of Ratification may be proposed by the Congress;] In other words 3/4 or 38 States can change the Constitution anyway they desire and Congress has no say in the matter.
There is no language that says it can not be done by direct amendment by 3/4 of the States. There are volumes of writings by the Founders as to nullification and the Article V protections. These methods were devised to allow a peaceful rebellion by the States to protect the people from an oppressive usurping Federal Government and Congress gone wild.
If fact many said it was the absolute duty of the States [legislators] to protect the people from a usurping government. Many in fact went so far as to say that defense is mandatory on the States to nullify unconstitutional laws.
So, In my estimation there is no prohibition of the use of the Article V amendment process by the States alone.
Article V - Amendment Note1 - Note2 - Note3
The Congress, whenever two thirds of both Houses shall deem it necessary, shall propose Amendments to this Constitution, or, on the Application of the Legislatures of two thirds of the several States, shall call a Convention for proposing Amendments, which, in either Case, shall be valid to all Intents and Purposes, as part of this Constitution, when ratified by the Legislatures of three fourths of the several States, or by Conventions in three fourths thereof, as the one or the other Mode of Ratification may be proposed by the Congress; Provided that no Amendment which may be made prior to the Year One thousand eight hundred and eight shall in any Manner affect the first and fourth Clauses in the Ninth Section of the first Article; and that no State, without its Consent, shall be deprived of its equal Suffrage in the Senate.
