"Gov-Point"- The choice to legally obligate a person or persons to do something based soley on the assumption that without said legal obligation they would fail to oblige.
There is no justification for holding humanity at gov point. We have become so dependent on the laws to determine our moral compasses I feel that we have lost what little sense of direction we were born to. I believe, unequivically, unconditionally, that given the lack of legal interfearence man would show its positive side. I do believe we would shine, that we would come together under a common banner not one defined by a politicians pocketbook but one defined by a mothers love.
So many times have I said this, and so many times have I heard the same response. It seems that the majority of the population (at least the population which I have encountered) believe that given the chance to do what they want without consequences people would become animals. That we would suddenly begin to beat the crap out of our neighbors. There would be riots on the street, theiving in the corners, no man would be safe.
But why would this happen? There wasnt always an active police force. The police force itself causes us to become reliant on it, and in that reliance we give our souls. Just as we are reliant on laws to enforce morality, and to define morality, we have also become reliant on our enforcers to become the soul barrier between us and madness. What have we done?
It may be true that for some time after entering a non-legal system we would suffer losses. We would have chaos ensue. But what is the cost of order? Are these lives, and the property loss in the creation of a new world not worth that new world? I see around me a DEPENDENCE, no different than a drug, on the crutches we put in place to protect ourselves with.
I say let many die. I say break away, and retake our souls. Retain our humanity. We must throw away the past so we may reforge ourselves into what we could have been many years ago. Laws were made to enforce the instinctive morality of the masses. I say throw out the enforcement and lean on that morality. It would hurt, it would hurt ALOT. lives would be spent. Money would blow away like leaves on the wind.
For once in our lives let us know that we do not spare the theif due to fear of the law, but love of our fellows.
