This SHIT we now have....
Is NOT the system I learned in Elementary Class....
I primarily was taught that we have a Republic, and not any form of Demonocracy, and that a Republic is a Meritocracy, based upon Contractual Agreement, not on Imagined sleight, Handouts, and Freebies Gained via Pretended blight....
Work and Eat, is the Brother of, Don't Work Don't Eat....
Agreed. What if those laws could all easily be tossed out now due to this ruling?
I am all for voluntary/charitable giving to help another out who is sincerely hurting & in need. I know I don't deserve many of the blessings & wealth God has seen fit to give me during my life, so I am glad to give when the spirit moves me to help others that are struggling. That said, I choose to do this & am not forced to do it.
Forcing others to be charitable, instead of reaching them why it is good & helping them also choose to do so, is absolutely evil. See Communism Massacres for evidence.
I think I get what you said, but in a Republic, the ONE thing that is ""Common"" amongst ALL MEN, literally All Men, is Law....
We Live by the Law, we Die by the Law, we either flourish and prosper by the Law, or we fail and Die by the Law.....
For us MEN, there are Codes of Conduct, they help us Navigate THE LAW, there are RULES of Conduct, they help us Stay within our ""Guidelines of Conduct"", that help us stay within our ""Codes of Honor"", but none of those are Laws....
Only Laws are Laws.....
IN the Common Law, there are really only Three Laws.....
Don't Murder anyone, and try to keep from accidentally causing the death of someone you know, even if you hate them....
Don't Injure or Damage someone else, even if you hate them, because you WILL take on ALL of their Responsibilities, on top and in Superior position to yours....
Do not Damage anything that is not your own, or you WILL replace it, even if it is at a much higher cost than what you damaged:: ""You break a Mules Lower back Leg....
You think the Mule is getting put down, NOPE, Owner says he will get a cast put there, and the Mule Lives....
Guess what, You just bought him a New Younger Mule to do the Work, and it better be trained in doing such work, or YOU are responsible for any damage it does....
That, my friends IS the Common Law, at the root, but Judges think they always know better....
Agreed & thank you for this fantastic summation.
