RE: Elderly Man Vows To Go To Prison Before He Stops Feeding Homeless
@doitvoluntarily, what is wrong with this world? Like the NWA, fuck the police and the law on this one. Mr. Abbott should do whatever he wants.
We need a more accessible platform that allows legislators to comment on laws to justify why they're needed. I'm sure there was a good purpose for this law at one point, but it would be amazing for the public to be able to see a link to the law in a news article and immediately have access to the debate about why the law is useful and whether it still serves society.
A crypto-based reputation platform would help normal non-lawyer people understand why the law are so and also for normal people to be able to directly give feedback on unjust or obsolete laws.
The reputation part of the platform would ensure that lawyers would need to break things down from legal speak to normal person language. The transparency would allow people to understand when there are bad influences on the law, like corruption or the undue force of tradition.
there isn't good purpose for a lot of laws, unless you consider control over the natural rights of others to be a good purpose 👍 😜 not all laws are just.
Of course not all laws are just. Some are made up by tyrants and the corrupt. But many laws are out there to defend exactly those natural rights from being infringed upon by others.
Laws naturally restrict freedoms, while promoting stability. Ultimately, laws are just a bunch of rules that society has agreed to in order to protect itself. Opening up laws to transparency like a reputational platform brings the personal rights perspective back into the rigid structure of the written word. It would nudge the current system more towards a natural rights perspective by making it easier for individuals to participate in shaping the laws toward a more just society.
you don't need laws established by a centralization of force in order to protect natural rights :) i would suggest you follow @larkerose on steemit:) he has some very quality posts you might learn something from or find enjoyable 👍
I appreciate the dialog, is @larkerose spelled correctly? I found @larkenrose. Who seems to preach anarchism (to my untrained eye). I'm guessing that's who you meant. I will do some reading.
One initial question I have for you regarding this, do you reject government AND capitalism? I understand some flavours of anarchism oppose both government and capitalism.
I am for what is voluntary :) - not a big fan of coercion. I think there is only one larkenrose on steemit? lol welcome to steemit btw!
FYI, the current link in your comment above misses the "n" in larken :) I'm still figuring out how editing works here, but clicking it now brings me to a user not found page.
uh oh i am not sure then lol ?
