Guess what?
YOU are an outlaw!
Yes, you read that right, but don't get offended ...
We are ALL outlaws today!
"We the people" have simply surrendered our sovereignty to an unaccountable government, and it's time to TAKE IT BACK!
The Independent Institute, reviewing the MUST READ book for ALL Americans by Paul Craig Roberts and Lawrence M. Stratton, "The Tyranny of Good Intentions" says:
... that what passes for "law" in the current civic climate is far removed from "the long struggle to establish the people's sovereignty" that dates back to pre-Norman England (p. ix). Simply put, the law has been transformed from a shield that protects the people from the encroachments of government power into a sword that enables the government to lord over the people.
Whether they're called laws, regulations, guidelines or something else, it's next to impossible not to be an outlaw ... well, let's just say it as it is ... it's impossible not to be a criminal in America today, therefore ... We're all criminals now!
According to Roberts and Stratton (emphasis added):
The U.S. Code, which contains all federal statutes, occupies 56,009 single-spaced pages. Its 47 volumes take up nine feet of shelf space. An annotated version, which attempts to bring order out of chaos, is three feet long and has 230 hardcover volumes and 36 paperback supplements. Administrative lawmaking under statutes fill up the 207-volume Code of Federal Regulations, which spans 21 feet of shelf space and contains more than 134,488 pages of regulatory law.
And that's just the tip of the iceburg, with federal law taking up substantially more!
In Michigan:
In Brighton, it's now illegal to "annoy" someone. Yes, you read that right. And guess what? In Royal Oak, my favorite city, home to many great restaurants and bars ... it's illegal to smoke, drink, or annoy anywhere in the city!
Oakland County Politics informs us that "Birmingham has a similar ordinance which its City Manager claims was on the books since 1963. And the Brighton police chief himself justifies the law by saying "other cities have had" the ordinances for 'decades'. Problem was - in 1971 - the City of Cincinnatti lost a case (Coates v. City of Cincinatti) in the US Supreme Court on precisely the language of "annoying" behavior. It's been unconstitutional for most of those decades."
You know what "annoys" me?
Politicians, government bureaucrats, and lawyers!
Maybe I should file suit against all these annoyances ... what do you think?
