Behind ever law

The president says there is a story. By allowing feeling and personal experience to be the basis of law we will institutionalize discrimination. Race was created and is still used to divide people.

For this reason I submit his view is flawed. Justice is blind and to reinforce that she is depicted as wearing a blindfold. Our founding documents state the limits of government and that we have the right to pursue, not a guaranty of attainment of, life, liberty, and happiness (property). The law should not take from the rights or property of one to give to another.

It is up to the jury to decide if the law was broken and further it is the role of the jury to decide if the law is applicable. Why else would it be a jury of your peers? We/they are to answer the question "What would a reasonable person have done in that situation?"

The current direction we are heading will have cameras on every building and a law or agency to regulate every facet of life. This is not slippery slope or crazy talk, look across the pond to the UK.

This country may not be a "christian" nation, but it was founded by adventures who had and wished to hand down the ability to fail or succeed on our own merits to us. The nannies gave us prohibition, the drug war, and involvement in two world wars. How many millions have died and how much productivity stolen by them? How many more by their brothers in arm of Mao, Stalin, and Hitler.

I am not my brother's keeper by the force of violence, but by the generosity of my heart. Is my heart fair or just?  No. But it is more fair and just than a bureaucrat 600 miles away making judgments based on a check-box form and a stack of rules that the people who wrote and voted for don't even understand.

Though, I may fear for my life, I fear more for my freedom. For what is life without freedom?
