Greetings good citizen, I'm sure some of you have heard of the recent kerfuffle surrounding the desire of the surviving families of the 9/11 attack on NYC to sue Saudi Arabia and the sitting president's vow to veto the legislation that would allow those families to seek justice?
Left to our imagination is whether or not cracking this 'seal' wouldn't open the US up to liability/wrongful death lawsuits regarding those who were...[um, pick your own euphemism here] 'executed' by US drones as alleged 'enemy combatants'?
You know the guys I'm talking about, Al Quieda's number 2 man, twice removed? He's been killed 147 times this year alone!
We are left with a few questions here good citizen. When is it 'appropriate' to let ANYONE'S government operate 'above the law' and why would we allow those whose job it is to enforce the law the ability to pick and choose which ones they will enforce and WHO will (or will NOT) receive justice?
*One Nation [something something, think the crackers inserted something about Spirit in the Sky in there] With Liberty and Justice FOR ALL!
[*From the now outdated Pledge of Alligeance, US version.]
Did I mention this planet is screwed up beyond belief? [Probably not, no point in telling you what you already know!]
We COULD lump this in with the 'All men are created equal' blarney and all of the other noble but meaningless platitudes we are expected to hold dear...[but not as dear as eating regularly or the freedom to slip down to the corner for a pint if the feeling moves us.] I won't even start on how the largest segment of our species population is treated!
So it is that we enter the realm usually preceded with 'The Dream isn't the same for everyone' speech. Where we are 'reminded' that we have to be 'flexible' and let some 'garbage' slip through the cracks or the system wouldn't work at all!
So we arrive at that place where the SAME PEOPLE keep getting a 'free pass' while everyone else gets the shaft!
Funny thing about the law, the ones most willing to take on the tickilish task of 'administering' it, thereby risking getting caught up by the inherent conflicts the task presents; are usually the very ones you DON'T WANT having that kind of authority!
Life's 'rocks and hard places' need to be confronted so the prevalent 'It's OKAY if I do it!' is NEVER the answer.
Actually the 'crafty' administrator will try and create the illusion that 'the state' IS 'above the law'...and back that up claiming the creator [who allegedly blesses AND created the State] agrees that the State is NEVER 'in the wrong' [regardless of what its minions do in its name!] See why you don't want those who seek these positions to possess this kind of power?
This little 'doe-see-doe' translates to 'If you don't like the outcome, take it up with the Creator...and let us know how you make out with that cuz he's a tough guy to get a hold of!'
In the end good citizen, NOBODY is 'Above the Law'...but the weasels would have you believe otherwise.
Now that we have chased this little B-tard all around the Mulberry bush we arrive at perhaps the most important issue of all.
Since the foundation of every 'sound and rational' civilization is Equality and Justice, what is YOUR 'responsibility' as a citizen of a society that is neither?
[Rinse & Repeat!]
Ask yourself, is all that, er, 'madness' you witness everyday just part of the 'beast' in action or are they signs of a society in a 'death spiral'?
Did I 'prejudice' your perception by calling it 'madness' or IS THERE a better term for it? What we might call 'people being people' today can't be compared to people fifty years ago...two entirely different things.
You can only 'turn a blind eye' until it's your day in the box...then what?
Will you wait til that day comes and deal with it then?
Nobody would blame you because its exactly what THEY intend to do too!
Not my problem, not my job...until it is
Anyway, none of you should be surprised to learn your day is coming...likely a lot quicker than you think!
Thanks for letting me inside your head,
Gegner
