Criminals

More Laws make more criminals


Lawmakers will see the solution to every problem as an opportunity to make a new law. After all, that is what they do. They do this in the name of Safety or Liberty.

What actually happens, based on historical cycles, is quite different from what should be the ideal. In reality, after a law is passed and signed, it is the people who decide to follow the new law, or not to follow it (“get around” it, I suppose).

There are only two ways a government body can expect its citizens to comply with the new law; Hope (most people are good law abiding citizens) and Fear (something will be taken from you).

What happens when it becomes impossible to comply with the law financially, physically, ignorantly, or philosophically? It depends on who is affected, and the number of people affected.

Almost every time a new law is passed, criminals are made. I say almost, because there have been times in history when the government actually passes laws that do not make man a criminal. Historically, usually that time is right after a revolution.

So, as history shows, governments will try to make its citizens comply with the law through hope and fear. When enough laws are passed that society (citizens and officials) can no longer comply with the law (Everyday Law and Constitutional Law), a revolution, coup, or change occurs. History shows that number to be around 20 percent of the whole.

Why do I mention this? Do I want a revolution? No. I mention this because we need to break the old historical cycle. To have a law in place for the people (society) is necessary for a government to continue to thrive and prosper. One way to accomplish this goal is to set law with expiration dates. This way, when times change, and society no longer needs a law from 1896 when it is 2009, it will be presented to Congress for renewal, and pass the process as a new bill would. The Constitution is exempt and has its own process for change.

Also, any new law must FIRST pass a Constitutionality board. Not a court. Not Federal employees, but whom? One person representing each state, appointed by all of the Governors of each State. They can only say that the law is Constitutional or not. They can explain why also. They cannot change one word or sentence, they must read the whole bill, and they must post the bill with their commentary (views) onto the Internet.

Lawmakers have been known to push an illegal bill forward knowing it will take time to “undo” it in the courts.

This will slow the process down a whole lot, but after all we want to save our government from making too many laws, which historically shows a failed path.

Do you want your Country to fail? I don't. When a country has a great system in place, the people need to keep it. Help out by getting these ideas some attention. Copy, paste, email, blog, billboard, be clever. We have opportunity to act without fight, and that is another thing that makes our country so great. What do you think makes this Country a great place? Then let's act and keep it.

Lastly, a system should not tax a man's income, but what he spends. That is basic.

Peace Out, The Compusician
