If there's any definition of the United States that stands out in my mind, it is the long and painful struggle against oppression. Across the two centuries our nation has been in existence, we've had many oppressed groups, many rulings that have come down from the Supreme court.Thousands of court cases have been reviewed, hundreds overturned within the first few decades for lack of adherence to

The hue and cry is out, that sex offenders, as a whole, have abandoned their humanity, their human rights, their very nature, by their crimes and misdeeds. The fear is palpable in the air, and political animals tear at the flesh of the law to feed within the confusion. But have sex offenders abandoned their humanity? Can they?Those human rights are not created, nor instituted by human contract,

Not only would I not have gotten to argue my case, I'd not have even gotten a trial...WHat has happened to our country? No civil case could provide criminal punishment, and no criminal case could be tried in a civil court. No civil case could provide prison time, however... they're claiming the power to provide criminal felony sentences by a civil court hearing?

Our government has many oaths, most of them of the same nature, and the same purpose. Assumption of office is contingent upon these oaths, and these oaths are quite direct and strict in both the actions that may be taken. Who, however, holds the officers to their oath? What do oaths mean? What duties are incumbent upon the statement of an oath?As the oaths are prerequisite for the office, a

We look around for freedom, but so very rarely does anyone reach for it. Part of this is because so very few understand what it is... Freedom is not the absence of laws, for the absence of laws creates tyranny by its very nature. Freedom is being free to exercise your full rights in ways that do not remove the rights of others.

A great injustice has been started in our nation, perhaps one of the worst it has seen. In these times of economic uncertainty and fear, injustice has fertile ground in which to grow, and has been lovingly germinated by falsehood, fear, and political acumen that has less to do with truth than with the accumulation of power.We've had our injustices in the past, but never have we walked into them

We live in a great nation, conceived and created in the principles of liberty and freedom. I am not, however, convinced we know even what liberty, or freedom is.

We as human beings make many separations in our philosophy, separations between people and animals, between people and people, between races, between cultures.

How often have you heard from a person, “They did (x) so they have no rights?” Have you really thought about this statement much? Have you said it? Many people do not know what rights are, or what it means for a right to be inalienable. To explore this, we must look at the term itself. Inalienable and unalienable were used interchangeably by the founding fathers, and the root of the term is

Looking at the sex offender registry, one must wonder what the true purpose behind it is. It does not make the society safer (see numerous studies, including peer-reviewed studies on the subject prepared for Congress itself) nor does it reduce crime. It targets a specific class of persons, but is constantly expanding.The politicians argue that this is not punitive, that it is a civil measure,

In the past two decades, Congress has passed myriad laws purporting to protect the children, and proposing punishments for those who transgress against them. While the intent was good, perhaps the targeting has fallen away from the mark. We, as a people, and our children deserve better.Perhaps the greatest measure of efficacy of new legislation should be, not "how harshly are people punished?"

I think sometimes people have forgotten what slavery is, in modern definition, and in the ancient.

We must make our election between economy and liberty or profusion and servitude. If we run into such debt, as that we must be taxed in our meat and in our

People have asked what my real beliefs are. They've asked where I stand, and there is only one answer I can give them.I am against abuse, no matter the form, no matter the nature, no matter the reasons behind that abuse. Also I am against abuse no matter the purpose, projector, or victim.It saves us nothing to abuse in order to prevent abuse, nor does it preserve our rights to limit them in

I've been watching for a while, with great interest, the fervor of the Congress to pass out the money earned by our putative future generations. This is not in the interest of our nation, nor the interest of the future, however. When credit becomes available, we as a people become dependent upon it.Those that choose not to indulge in the use of credit are disadvantaged economically compared to

One thing I've been watching over the last few years is a number of web sites, which at one time I respected. They continue, however, to grow more shrill, the people there more polarized. This is their right. However, with larger information bases, and more money, comes new responsibilities to verify their data before publishing. This is no different from the information presented by CNBC,

The past reflects the future, as from the past we have seen day turn into day, logic illuminate illogic, truth illuminate lies. If we mean to be free of oppression, we must stand free of ignorance, we must illuminate the truth, no matter the cost. If a thing is true, it can stand of its own nature, if it be true, no lie can forever hide it. The past is key to the future, for in its truths lies

The intent of the constitution is manifold, primarily to act as a foil up on each of the three departments of government. Those departments, by their nature, by their very being, are political. The objective was to give each powers over the other two, and in the struggle, to delay and disrupt the flow of bills from the legislature to the writ of law.How often have we looked at our senate, and

Was doing some thinking about the tools used for abuse. There are really three major tools, with numerous minor ones.The first tool is silence... an abuser wishes his victims to remain silent, so the abuse is not detected.The second tool is acceptance. Acceptance makes the first tool easier.The third tool is shame. Again reinforcing the first tool.Often abuse victims are educated into

An old axiom states that history is written by the winners. With the epidemic of laws against felons and sex offenders sweeping across our nation, the marginalization and ostracism against those offenders continues to grow.

Liberty is, by its nature, an ephemeral thing. Perfect liberty cannot exist, for mankind by its nature requires law, justice, and some guidelines to work and exist. The Code of Hammurabi, early on, was the earliest recorded and publicly displayed work of law.Law itself is nothing more than a set of rules. It makes a set of societal boundaries, and backs them up with the 'force of law' which

Coercion is the use of physical, emotional, or economic force to fulfill a goal.One must admit, that government, by nature, and laws are coercive.

The constitution is a simple document, but it means many things to many people. This is what it means to me, along with documentation of why I believe so. The Constitution is simply a civil contract between three parties, a particular state, the people of that state, and all other states. It did not provide punishments for its violation, as a civil contract could not do so. In effect,

I wish to congratulate the Congress... in its creation of an autocracy. For violation after violation of the spirit, and the letter of the Constitution. For raping, pillaging, and burning the very nation they were elected to represent.Senators, you represent your state's interests... but that does not give you the right, nor the power to subjugate the other states to your will.

I am not one to grow angry easily.. but this fire has gone beyond a simple burning into an all-out inferno. The actions of the Congress have gone beyond simple abuses into an all-out refusal to operate under the conditions and needs of the people, and the states. Such a refusal is a direct violation of due process, and is outside the powers of the Constitution itself, which I am sworn to

There are many things one sees in the shadows, many trials of conscience. To look out and see what has occurred, and continues to occur is difficult, and to know one's self powerless against the shadows is also difficult.The trials are many, and varied, and deliniated not by codes, nor regulations, but by one's own understanding of ethics, and what is right, and what is wrong.Sometimes there

We seek change in this country, but it seems none know where to start. None know entirely what the shape, nor the meaning of that change is. Few ever observe the causes beneath the tides and tempests that society has, and holds.People talk about the conservatives, the liberals, the neoconservative movement, as though that is all there is. They look around and weep, seeking any kind of hope

Change, change.. .we hear the refrain repeatedly from our congressmen, from our presidents. We hear it so often, sometimes, that it entirely loses meaning. To define change, however, we must first define the problem.What is the problem then? We've got rights and immunities and freedoms removed, left and right, the exercise of them criminalized, and the ability to speak about it removed more

What is extortion? Extortion is, simply, a form of abuse that causes a person to act involuntarily by coercion. Coercion is the use of physical, emotional, or economic force to fulfill a goal.One must admit, that government, by nature, and laws are coercive. Any and all acts, written by the government, must have a stick. The carrot is optional, and only for those enacting the law

Government rules by the consent of the governed. When that consent is removed, the only power it has is that of an arm severed from the body. Segregation is not the answer. It never has been.

A creature if instinct as much as logic, of emotion as much as intellect.He is a wonderful, confusing paradox, both hope and despair held in his hands, lost in the shadows of time.

Physically, anger is part of the grief process. When we are hurt, we experience fear and stress, the 'fight or flight' syndrome. This produces direct changes in brain chemistry and electrochemical activity in the brain.The reason it's part of the grief process is that anger is often directed inwards, or outwards, at ourselves, at society, at God.

Compassion and conscience cannot die.. to imply such would be to say that they could be murdered... they but sleep to nurse deep-held wounds, rest to be awakened again to their endless toil to make a way for mankind to become beyond what they are.Compassion, conscience, love, acceptance, these are the messages of one Jesus Christ.

My objection lies not in the registry, but in the ex-post-facto application of new rules, regulations, and punishment to the registry. However, at the same time, tracking all those who have different registry requirements as the laws change would be prohibitive for law enforcement, and thus unenforceable.To extend this, the problem lies in the fact that it is a blanket law, and a blanket
