Well put together. That was a good read. It used to be that the local laws were read out-load, in the town or a written transcript of the Common Laws were nailed to the church doors, at regular intervals throughout the year. Its just one of the reasons laws were kept simple and few in number. HaHa! you would need a big ass door to nail all our statutes to ;)
Only debate I would have, is that I believe we need to go backwards not forwards with our Political and Judiciary system. Yes, like you said, we do need to go through our whole system from top to bottom. But in my opinion the essence of our system is solid and blocks corruption on such a basic level that it is a Royal pain in the arse for Fabian style Socialism. Our 'unwritten' Constitution, had we stuck to it, should have prevented the 'smotherment' that has usurped it. Scrape off the barnacles and start again. Make changes to suit modern society but not for the sake of any core principles. They say our laws derive from the bible's 10 commandments but I feel its more likely from natural laws that are instinctive to all living things. Religion should have naff all to do with our Laws. Now we have let all manner of other 'groups' tweak the system(too many cooks, springs to mind) Its only since those kind of oppressive systems popped up, that groups began to isolate themselves into 'ideals' and add over complicated laws to please the growing centralized mix of cultures.

I doth my cap to you Sir, great post ;)
