In the face of burgeoning legislation we have to face the fact that these governments do not have our best interests at heart. Indeed, they are, more and more destroying what little civil liberties we have, in favour of kow-towing to multinational corporations. Rights that were hard won over the course of the last 150 years, are being swept away.
I was reading an article today which proposes the ONLY laws we should really follow. They set out in plain language laws that would work FOR society & FOR humanity.
I would like to propose, that as many of us that are willing, accept these 'natural laws' and show our defiance to these un-natural laws being handed down day-by-day (as if they were the 'word of God') to increase our burden, and make our life blander, and less full of the free expresion of humanity.

I feel these writings are particularly pertinant today, in view of the increased totalitarism that we have emerging bolder, and bolder as it's opposition is silenced and villified in the media, and by the governments propounding such clap-trap.
Please read, feel free to comment, also disagree in an intelligent way, by using reason and logic based on wisdom of experience.
I include my email address so those of you interested in adopting these laws may be able to contact me & through communication, form a consensus - it would be good to set up an online prescence - which I confess, I do not have the resources to do (tech knowledge etc) even if it's in the form of a 'group' with a free internet provider - e.g. Yahoo, Hotmail etc. so that those who would embrace these laws do not feel the isolation or marginalisation that oppressive governments & the media seek to impose on those who have the courage to say "No".

The laws are below:

"Reason, assisted by Experience, discloses to man the laws of Nature and Society; then it says to him:

"These laws are those of necessity itself. No man has made them; no man imposes them upon you. They have been gradually discovered, and I exist only to bear testimony to them.

"If you observe them, you will be just and good.

"If you violate them, you will be unjust and wicked.

"I offer you no other motive.

"Already, among your fellows, several have recognized that justice is better, for each and for all, than iniquity; and they have agreed with each other to mutually keep faith and right, - that is, to respect the rules of transaction which the nature of things indicates to them as alone capable of assuring them, in the largest measure, well-being, security, peace.

"Do you wish to adhere to their compact, to form a part of their society?

"Do you promise to respect the honor, the liberty, and the goods of your brothers?

"Do you promise never to appropriate, either by violence, or by fraud, or by usury, or by speculation, the product or the possession of another?

"Do you promise never to lie and deceive, either in justice, or in business, or in any of your transactions?

"You are free to accept or to refuse.

"If you refuse, you become a part of the society of savages. Outside of the communion of the human race, you become an object of suspicion. Nothing protects you. At the slightest insult, the first comer may lift his hand against you without incurring any other accusation than that of cruelty needlessly practiced upon a brute.

"On the contrary, if you swear to the compact, you become a part of the society of free men. All your brothers enter into an engagement with you, promise you fidelity, friendship, aid, service, exchange. In case of infraction, on their part or on yours, through negligence, passion, or malice, you are responsible to each other for the damage as well as the scandal and the insecurity of which you have been the cause: this responsibility may extend, according to the gravity of the perjury or the repetitions of the offence, even to excommunication and to death.

"The law is clear, the sanction still more so. Three articles, which make but one; that is the whole social contract. Instead of making oath to God and his prince, the citizen swears upon his conscience, before his brothers, and before Humanity. Between these two oaths there is the same difference as between slavery and liberty, faith and science, courts and justice, usury and labor, government and economy, non-existence and being, God and man."

- By adopting these laws, we sweep the strangling red-tape of unneccessary legislation from the statute books, send a powerful message to the 'government', regain freedom as humans beings & who knows, maybe, just maybe, we'll see a REAL change in the ills of society.

Peace to all humans & respect for our Planet Earth.
