Does breaking a law make a criminal?
The other day I had the privilege of witnessing an interrogation, and as I sat there it occurred to me that the truth the interrogators were seeking may not have been the truth at all. Now I’m not admitting anything about myself as I make these statements, I’m just putting words for your interpretation.
Who is to determine what “crime” is? In ancient times a crime was a violation of the laws or rules laid out by the governing party…and so it would seem that is the case today. However, one must consider the source of these laws and rules… The Hammurabi Code (Amorite Dynasty of Old Babylon) was dictated by a king, and, if carefully examined, is the basis for most legal systems. Even the Catholic Cannons have roots in the Hammurabi Code, but then with 282 laws it’s hard to not find roots there. And why, may I ask, is a king from over 3800 years ago still telling us what to do?
Here’s what is really going on; Like cinema of today, governing bodies are simply dead creatively. It is the responsibility of leadership to create RELEVANT and NECESSARY laws that help to serve the people…not to repeat antiquated and meaningless dribble from thousands of years ago!!! Who’s to say that this Hammurabi guy was even sound enough of mind to say what is right or wrong?
Aren’t morality and ethics subject to personal opinion? I mean, if you have a way to succeed in life, should some crap like not being allowed to lie stop you? Obviously these laws and rules don’t do anything (just look at the number of people who get convicted and released), so why not just allow people to make their own rules?
Here’s an example of how stupid the government of the US is (that’s right, I said STUPID). These dip wads say that too many Americans are dangerously obese…and then they come up with new ways to help promote weight loss, right? NO!!!!!! Instead, they give the FDA MORE POWER to ban whatever they want!!! And as soon as the FDA gets that power, what do they do? THEY BAN WEIGHT LOSS PILLS!!!!!!!!!!! What the hell????
Anyway, I think you get the point…before you condemn someone for being a "criminal" ask yourself if they have ACTUALLY done anything wrong, or did they just break a rule made up for the government's piece of mind? Don’t just take laws and rules at face value, see if they actually have a purpose. And if they don’t, join me in starting a NEW civilization that MAKES SENSE!!!!!!!
Ciao everybody!!!
