If that "let's just all" is intended as persuasion, then I have no issue with you. You go on and have yourself a ball; I've got some other stuff to do at the moment, but I appreciate the invitation.

If you're expecting to put some sort of private or government coercion behind that "let's just all," on the other hand, then we'll have ourselves a little situation.

"But whether the Constitution really be one thing, or another, this much is certain--that it has either authorized such a government as we have had, or has been powerless to prevent it. In either case, it is unfit to exist." --Lysander Spooner, 1867
