Bush, however, represents illegitimate rule and is, therefore, the antithesis of the rule of law. <BR/><BR/>No ruler by any name may rule legitimately without "law" and no "illegitimate" ruler by any name rules within the rule of law. <BR/><BR/>For Bushies, the GOP crime syndicate, and the right wing in general, rule is something done by power utilizing the force of arms or other nethods of coercion. Law, for them, BECOMES coercion. <BR/><BR/>For the architects of Democracy --John Locke, Thomas Jefferson, Jean-Jacques Rousseau, Voltaire et al --the rule of law begins with the sovereignty of the people themselves.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04598093941551759917noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19580203.post-86833815246226999602007-08-13T13:17:00.000-07:002007-08-13T13:17:00.000-07:00Its the LAW, stupid...The "rule of law" is a preci...Its the LAW, stupid...<BR/><BR/>The "rule of law" is a precisely defined law. It is the highest law of mankind, stated below:<BR/><BR/>“the suppression of forceful and fraudulent methods of goal seeking”<BR/><BR/>“all are treated equally by the law”. This means ALL, including king and judges<BR/><BR/>“absolute property rights”<BR/><BR/>This in turn is based on the fact that human behavior (the topic of law) is about goal seeking. In the seeking of any goal, there are only three possible methods: force, fraud and honest trade. Any transaction that is not an honest, mutually agreed trade will cause a self-defensive response (conflict) from the victim whose survival has been affected.<BR/><BR/>"The Rule of Law" is the glue that keeps all of mankind acting together in common interest, tied together by mutual dependence of trade, on an evolutionary path to excellence. Force and fraud creates conflict and destroys civilizations. Mankind is now on a devolutionary path to extinction because the co-operation once forced by "the rule of law" has been replaced by legitimizing force and fraud for those who incorrectly believe they wield power.<BR/><BR/>Rule of Law, Defined: http://www.nazisociopaths.org/modules/article/view.article.php/c1/34<BR/><BR/>Purpose of, Reasons For: http://www.nazisociopaths.org/modules/article/view.article.php/36Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19580203.post-47848768716297497102007-08-13T05:40:00.000-07:002007-08-13T05:40:00.000-07:00Everyone fed up with our political and government ...Everyone fed up with our political and government system should seriously check out the new national, nonpartisan group at www.foavc.org, and become a member!!statusquobusterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06952233295200791918noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19580203.post-67421259543667940882007-08-12T04:06:00.000-07:002007-08-12T04:06:00.000-07:00Great comments, everyone.

That said --once the US gets its house in order, a renewed UN might benefit by giving voice not merely to the regimes comprising it but to the various peoples themselves.

It should perhaps have international scope, since the root problem as I see it is the pervasive influence of <I>multinational</I> corporatism.<BR/><BR/>It should be a lot easier to draft a Constitution this time - we have a good model. I would suggest to begin with that we change the definition of treason to something more in line with that used by the old monarchs - with the stipulation of course that <B>the sovereignty of the People shall not be infringed.</B><BR/><BR/>The other problem I see with the US constitution is that while it prohibits certain actions by the government in the Bill of Rights, there are no explicit sanctions therein.

Yes, we must develop a new government. Both parties are contaminated, we do not have a legitimate government. Our laws and civil liberties have been violated.<BR/><BR/>Recently, I became involved with Unity 08. I gave my ideas on who I thought would be a good President and Vice President. Next year there will be online voting, connecting with millions of people. we will all vote online. The winners will be placed on the 2008 ballot. Perhaps there is hope.Diane Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04709680778603784433noreply@blogger.com
