Free-Liberty Against the Law [Kindle Edition]

[Dogman]

For a day or so. This one may ring with some members of the forum.


Liberty Against the Law [Kindle Edition]In 17th-century England, the law was not an instrument of justice - it was an instrument of oppression.

So argues Christopher Hill in this classic study.

The enclosures, loss of many traditional rights and draconian punishments for minor transgressions changed the lives of the peasantry and created a landless class of wage laborers.

Hill explores the immense social changes that occurred and the expressions of liberty against the law through, for example, the literary culture of the times and the hero-worship of the outlaw.

As well as short chapters on gypsies and vagabonds, Hill has much to say about class, religion and the shift away from the importance of the church after the Reformation.

Law is and always has been ... REASON. For when the reason goes away then the law also goes away.

The REASON that existed for England while it was ruled by the Romans and for centuries later were raiding parties by the (now) Scotts and the (now) Scandinavians. The law stated that you needed to participate in the defense of your community. Not only that but you had to provide support for yourself, your family and the poor.

This is the basis for the Law. Little has changed.

Everybody seems to get that memo EXCEPT the rich blue bloods....they are always found in a cozy castle and wait to recieve word as to what happened after all the butchering was done.

The law was in place to make their fat coffers even fatter because the dine of the flesh consume the blood of the innocent,feeble minded or misled

As a rule law disregards illusions. If the rich have these urges to transform themselves into parasites in the end they are only harming themselves.

Sometimes illusions get transferred to others. When this happens you end up with a sort of mass hysteria.

Do share how a parasite like Henry Kissinger is harming himself a parasite by no strech of the imagination has the blood of millions on his hands

Do you detect any aura surrounding his head? With these sort of things the absence of certain things are much more important than things that are visible.
