"Rightful liberty is unobstructed action according to our will within limits drawn around us by the equal rights of others. I do not add 'within the limits of the law' because law is often but the tyrant's will, and always so when it violates the rights of the individual." - Thomas Jefferson Since "law" is paid for in the US, it will disintegrate into a shit-hole in about fifty years.
The Declaration of Independence That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, --That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness... But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security. Elizabeth Warren lives by TDOI
There is one thing stronger than all the armies in the world, and that is an idea whose time has come. – Victor Hugo. French poet and writer. 1802 – 1885 Thomas Kuhn says, change rarely happens by force. Instead, prior systems are made irrelevant. Imo, even though EW is a force to be reckoned with, the ultimate change will be made by the Google of the future. One day, there will be a technology that makes all these people's money irrelevant. They will be sitting on worthless paper and equally worthless gold. Bitcoin is but a drop of water in the ocean of ideas. The real revolution will be 100 fold more powerful and unstoppable. Some things can't wait for a revolution in ideas. Some things need to be confronted now. Slavery was one such system. Human Forced Global Warming another. Banks imploding economies is close to being another. It is disguised as, Money steering law and priviledge. The next quarter financials is the new King for which we all serve. The greatest paradigm shift in the future has to be the revoking of the Golden Rule: He who has the most gold makes the rules.
if you are a dog you ask, "Why does the lion always get it?" and that is the true "Law of the Jungle" and before you know it, there are a helluva lot more dogs than there are lions
So, the question is, "Is the Law of the Jungle sacred and should never be messed with?" or, "Is the Law of the Jungle just another one of the stupid things we believed in the past?" I vote for sacred, but that is just me
