I am NOT for a world without law. At the contrary. The commercial system of law has a long standing tradition. It "works" when everyone obeys the law, and plays by the rules. That is if EVERYONE obeys the law. If no one breaks the rules.
Now we must ask: is there such thing as "judicial corruption"? Are not people holding positions of public trust, and/or lawyers, and/or "justices," as "lawless" as these "freemdumbers," if they do not obey the law? And if I need to use the "justice" system, why would I need to engage in a commercial transaction to assert my person's rights? Sound a bit Kunta Kinteish. Why would the Law Society insist to convince everyone they must attorn/get a lawyer, should they need to use the court system?....
the first thing I said, among other things, was that I have been taught by Scott Duncan that EVERYONE is to obey the law.
Just as asside "..everyone is to obey the law.." is same as what was articulated in Paradigm material.
I can understand your position with regards to what appears to be thoughts of a corrupt system of justice. That somehow these attorneys, judges, and bureaucrats are out there to get you to submit to their rule. And that they will all form of nefarious actions to ensure it gets maintained. Through convoluted legalese or presumed intention assessment they will get you to submit to their undeniable authority. I used to buy into that mindset, that all existence of hidden definitions and meanings was simply a ruse to enslave me for the benefit of the ruling elite (which consisted of unscrupulous lawyers mostly). That this ruse was a grand plan by a master builder who enslaves us without us actually knowing it is happening. We are just ignoramuses to our own enslavement.
Well all of which is great gossip for the conspiracist but I'd have to say as much fun as it is, my experience is, such is not possible, feasible or even desirable. Don't get me wrong there are elements within this society that attempt to manipulate situations and conditions to their own means, but the existence of a much larger conspiracy is debunked by it's own deficiency....that it is run by human beings. As much as you might like to think that those who you claim are unaccountable, being judges, lawyers, politicians and bureacrates, those people are still subject to their own consciousness, and as such their human condition does not substantially vary from our own. Don't take this to mean that there aren't bad apples in every basket, but as it stands this is the best basket the people of this society have been able to create and to which a set of rules has been developed in an effort to mitigate the issues that those rotten apples can create for the people. The people who they are empowered BY, FOR.
The best we can ask is that those who are chosen, and willing, to accept the roll of caretakers of the judiciary, are at least thoughtful and considerate of both the individual and the society as a whole.
As yourself if you know a judge, lawyer, cop, etc. and then ask the question are they ALL intent on stealing MY freedom? Or are they doing what they consider is in the best interests of....... I can say I personally know many dozen, and such is definitely not the case (even the ones I was up against). But maybe I'm a gullible fool with regards to peoples motives and intentions. Oh well, I say better to be Forest Gump and happy, than Ebenezer Scrooge and miserable.
