Beatnick Bob took a good look at the constitution in the 50's and wondered about its applicability.
The constitution establishes the rule of law over the land. But where is there a rule that states we must comply with the rule? We can regulate the law and we can exact consequences to violators, when the violation offends the official public. However, the only rule that is unconditional is internal, and thus, lacks completeness of code.
Liberty for example, is not a rule but a referent for rules. Noble human beings must unconditionally care for the well being of themselves, others and all creatures of the realm. Specifically with regards to that which, as a noble human attribute of liberty, cannot be severed, surrendered, transferred, or alienated from the person in any way. Lack of freedom could be qualified, therefore, by the identification of coercive activity designed to suppress or oppress the nobility of a person, or persons.
Noble human beings MUST respect liberty formost and always, however; there is no rule that requires one to be a noble human being. |
