An interesting concept...... If someone, somewhere decides that an activity
is dangerous, we may igore our constitution....the SUPREME law of the land.
I am surprised that we haven't licensed "walking down the street"....
If you see where I am comming from.... Even without a licensing proceedure
your rights in this country would be protected... If some destroys your
property or takes your life...
Is the licensing proceedure a "due process"?. If it is, I would like to
know the offense that I am guilty of. From the material that I have
read, the concept of licensing came from British law, and we should have
become independent from England in 1776. You wouldn't know it if you
look at our legal system today. Lawyers take titles of nobility (squire or
esquire). Many Judges (but not all of them) wear black robes and require
the court room to worship them when they enter.
It is odd that the government licenses marriage.... a concept that was
started by God and is between a man and a woman for life....yet it is
licensed as a cause of "compelling public interest", and these words
are not in the constitution... they are words added by judges...and
our constitution has not been ammended to reflect this change.
The constitution here is meant to limit government. In closing I would
like to point out that this country is a CONSTITUTIONAL REPUBLIC not
a democracy. The laws that are passed are supposed to not violate
the constitution and I can not find any provision to limit freedom
because of what might happen. There is provision to
punish by due process for the cause of
the taking of life, liberty, or property that has already happened.
If we license or regualte an activity, we are dening people their private
property rights. Here again don't believe me, read the U.S.
Constitution word for word... and then look at the way things are
done, and compare the two. Do our actions match the supreme law of the
land?
The government has oppressed its citizenry many times in the past and
violated the constitution... Just ask the citizens of Japanese ancestry
what happened during World War II, or the people in Oklahoma about their
past.
Maybe I will have the effect of
Socrates's gad fly.
Take Care,
Charles Testerman
