Wasn't there a thread of someone that just did this?

[Hatha Sunahara]

There were actually two threads of people who did this. One was a guy in England who charged initiators of sales calls for the time he spent with them on the phone. The other was a guy in Russia who inserted his own terms into a reply to a notice from a bank on the service they provided him.

Where's Palani? I'm curious to hear what Palani has to say about this. I think this Jerry Day is just what we need right now.

I wouldn't do this because corporations apply this technique. I would because this is the process of making Law. Law is nothing but agreement between two parties. Notice and right to be heard are part and parcel of due process.

My personal favorite is the notice I placed for 4 weeks in a newspaper of general circulation in this county (possibly a couple thousand readers at most) when the vacant house at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue was first occupied by the African. In this notice I requested anyone who desired to be part of my government to send my notary assistant a certified copy of their oath and bond. NO RESPONSE. Plenty of notice so I got the publishers affidavit and the notaries affidavit and I recorded them. See ... I didn't even have to sign an affidavit myself. I let others do it for me.

So now if stopped I can pull out a certified copy of this recording and ask the costumed man in my face whose government he is working for.

That one was fairly funny. Every time the county recorder would accept one of my docs she would take it to the county attorney for approval (she was dishonoring her office as she was required to record everything presented immediately). In this case I told her that the county attorney had no office because the 1971 constitutional amendment eliminated it and so she took the doc to the district judge instead. She told me later he looked at it then looked at her and asked what the document meant.

Adask has a new article on the subject of notice.

One power of paper is reification. With this concept the paper actually represents the thing. Here is an example

http://news.yahoo.com/iowa-grants-gun-permits-to-the-blind-174507640.html?bcmt=comments-postbox

So a blind man has a permit carry a weapon. The permit itself is not what causes the injury but in the view of the state the permit actually IS the weapon. How many people have been injured by a piece of paper (paper cuts aside)?
