it is not clear, to me, if you are directing this comment (duplicated) at me; mankind can only be governed by One’s own consent.

i agree that no one, nor group, of any wo/man has authority over any Other… and, that no One can delegate any authority One does not possess… however, man can/does consent to granting Others, on occasion, authority over himself. granted, many times that consent, to being governed, is made tacitly.

again, not sure of what it is that you believe to which i am delusional.
