To that end we declare ourselves free...

We are born noble human beings, which makes it right to think, speak, and conduct ourselves with regard to the well being of all creatures and creation. We compose documents to declare those self-evident truths and we establish laws to protect what is right.

Violations are by choice and with disregard to these self evident truths. So, we must compose laws protecting our rights in a civilized society, not to grant what is right but to protect what is right. We do this to protect ourselves against persons who deny their own noble state of birth and who would violate the natural rights of others. We stand up in word and in deed in opposition to such self hating destroyers as the need arises, because that too is right.

Law can't solve every problem. It's meant to work in only a few areas, and in the ones that are best developed, say, contracts, it works well, although we've had to develop equititable remedies to fill in the gaps.

I can't tell you how many times I've sat in a law library late at night, pulling out my hair while I look for a remedy. Sometimes there just isn't a remedy.

Some problems need magicians to solve.
