Right, many laws can be questioned, and should be repealed or changed through civil disobedience, legislation or judiciary. There's too much misleading rhetoric.
Example: I had fun in high school working summers on a 200 acre grape ranch owned by the father of a friend. I'd run crews during the day and sit around the campfire telling stories, getting to know these guys. At least one day a year, about noon a Border Patrol cessna 172 would fly overhead, and we'd tell everyone not to run, but they'd scatter. The ground car would come up the drive picking up strays, and take them to the INS for deportation. The others would come down out of the hills that night. And so it goes. It's a bad business and bad economics. If they're going to be allowed in, fine, make it legal.
My sis is a defense attny and we have this discussion about rule of law, and the need for good defense attornies to balance out the power of the state, and she's a good one.
But what's needed to balance the power of the state, imo, is full transparency at the federal level. Until that happens, legislation and judicial action is beholden to whoever brings in the largest dollars - those who hire millions of illegals, want increased police state, corp welfare, and war profiteering. Full web disclosure of every public dollar, person and program would quickly allow many "dots" to be connected, right to your local congressman, local corporations, and national criminal enterprises in the executive branch.
The misuse of laws to jail crack addicts preferentially is bad, but it's small beer compared to the wholesale infection of our society by the shadow government, beholden to no laws, assassinating political leaders and pillaging the treasury.
Fix that, and you'll fix the end results. After all, they're the ones bringing in the coke to begin with... |
