I've been following this for a bit, and hesitated to chime in, but here's the thing. there's two kinds of crimes:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Malum_in_se Malum in se - Evil in itself. Murder, rape, assault, etc., need no proving as to the wrongness. they are evil because they are evil, and to others especially. the other is http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Malum_prohibitum malum prohibitum - evil because it's prohibited by law. everything from building code violations to prostituion are evil only because it's said so by law. now, where do i draw the line? were the "violators" malum in se or malum prohibitum? obviously the latter. thus, they committed no wrong, but that proscribed by law. I'm going to back further than Jefferson, to one of his main inspirations, John Locke: Quote:
Quote:
It is in the words of John Locke (who is the philosophical forebear of the Dec. of Ind.) an act of tyranny, and thus must be opposed, with force if necessary. As for the law itself, it runs counter to the greater laws, both constitutional and common. There is no malum in se, no harm to others, no crime being committed, yet rights clearly abridged. The law is clearly null and void. Now, the state has the guns and the wherewithal to make our lives hell, and no, I can't ask anyone here to risk theirs and their family's health and well being, despite being morally and legally justified. Even if you win, the state has rendered your life a tragedy. As Albert Jay Nock so aptly put it, "Our enemy, the state". However, respect for the law and those who would enforce I have not. Help I will not. I will fight it as much as I can. Let me simplify this, those who would help "enforce" the MLPA are aiding and abetting tyranny and evil. I am sorry if you are offended by this, but there is no amelioration available, as in "I respect but...". Ain't gonna cut it. If you saw all that they did to us, and how they did it, it is a knife in our backs, and I can't lessen my feelings or moderate my words.
