Search me, O God, and know my heart; try me and know my anxious thoughts; and see if there be any hurtful way in me, and lead me in the everlasting way. ~Psalm 139:23-24
"The story I am writing exists, written in absolutely perfect fashion, some place, in the air. All I must do is find it, and copy it." ~Jules Renard,1895
Greetings and welcome to my blog! I am Molly the lady and authoress who tries to keep her muse with her, but it usually goes off without me. Please make yourself comfortable, and enjoy you stay!I am 16 years old, and I enjoy reading. I also quite enjoy writing, nature, and old fashioned things. My favorite time was the Regency Era. My favorite Jane Austen novel is Persuasion. I am currently writing a novel called The Shepherdess of North-Tynendell. Below you can see the current word count for it. Please comment, if you would, even if your just passing through for I love to converse with anyone who would like to;) I fondly bid you farewell!
Whatever Happened to Justice, by Richard J. Maybury, is a book about law and government. It takes us from what our founding fathers believed about law and government, to where we stand today. It covers Political Law and Natural Law. Political Law is fake, made up law; Natural Law is real, fundamental law.
In the U.S. abortion is legal, it wasn’t always, but eventually the majority voted for it, and now it is legal; majority rule, Political Law. In Germany before World War II, killing innocent people was considered murder, but eventually it became a law that killing a Jew was not illegal. Majority rule. Political Law is fake, made out of nothing, it is primitive. What the power holders want is what comes. What the power holders decide against; goes. Political Law is whimsical, unpredictable, business men can’t plan ahead, for the law could change when the power holders decide to change it.
In Natural Law there are two fundamental laws: “Do all you have agreed to do.” And, “Do not encroach upon other persons or their property.” These two basic concepts agree with all religions and philosophies. Natural Law points back to a Higher Law, a law further above any law government can give. After World War II, the Nazi’s were put to trial, at Nuremberg, where the Nazi defendants claimed that they were following orders from their government – they were obeying their nation’s laws. However the prosecution contradicted saying that, “there is a higher duty” then anything that our governments can bestow on us. Natural Law is real law, it does not change, when there is Natural Law there is a decrees in poverty, business men can plan ahead.
In the U.S. today all we now have is Political Law. Nearly 100,000 new laws and regulations are enacted each year in the U.S. Tax rates change with the laws, money supply, trade restrictions, and many other business rules are being changed constantly. That is the reason why we have such a rickety economy, employers can’t plan ahead. James Madison says in Federalist Paper #62, “It will be of little avail to the people that the laws are made by men of their own choice if the laws be so voluminous that they cannot be read, or so incoherent that they cannot be understood.” Some real examples of political law are: In Massachusetts it is illegal to put tomatoes in clam chowder. You are going against the law of Vermont if you whistle under water. When two trains meet at a railroad crossing each shall come to a full stop and neither shall proceed until the other has gone, if you are in Texas. If those examples make you laugh, you laughed at the law.
I enjoyed reading Whatever Happened to Justice? and it is a book I greatly encourage everyone to read. It introduced me to law, government, and power, and what is going on today in the U.S.A. It is a book that every American should read.
