RE: What Would Happen If We Cancelled All Laws? - My 100th Post! Woohoo!

in #law7 years ago

We live in a time where society is more concerned with getting the right angle of the school yard fight and wanting it to go viral than they are with understanding the laws that govern us. Instead of focusing on social reform, they are focusing on the blood that is being spilled.

MLK was concerned with changing the laws that governed this land that were no longer relevant to a future he envisioned for himself and his children.

Think of some of the landmark cases that have shaped this country (United States): Brown v. Board of Education, 1954; Gideon v. Wainwright, 1963;New York Times v. Sullivan, 1964;Miranda v. Arizona, 1966;Loving v. Virginia, 1967;Roe v. Wade, 1973;United States v. Nixon, 1974;District of Columbia v. Heller, 2008;United States v. Windsor, 2013;Obergefell v. Hodges, 2015.

Just because a law is a law does not mean that it is followed and for that matter enforced. However, the spirit of the law it is in place to make this a "better" place to live for the populace in general. To make sure that certain freedoms and liberties are allowed.

So what does a Fight Club society have in store for us? Survival of the fittest? He who has the biggest guns with the most ammunition wins? Or do we take to the streets and educate others to make the changes we envision for not only ourselves but for those who come after us?
