Freedom and Morality
Patrick Henry,
Founder of Freedom:
"Bad men cannot make good citizens.
It is when a people forget God that tyrants forge their chains.
A vitiated state of morals, a corrupted public conscience, IS INCOMPATIBLE WITH FREEDOM.
No free government, or the blessings of liberty, can be preserved to any people but by a firm adherence to justice, moderation, temperance, frugality, and virtue; and by a frequent recurrence to FUNDAMENTAL PRINCIPLES."
John Locke: 15. "To those that say there were never any men in the state of Nature, I will not oppose the authority of the judicious (Richard) Hooker (Eccl. Pol. i. 10), where he says, "the laws which have been hitherto mentioned" -- i.e., the laws of Nature -- "do bind men absolutely, even as they are men, although they have never any settled fellowship, never any solemn agreement amongst themselves what to do or not to do;
but for as much as we are not by ourselves sufficient to furnish ourselves
with competent store of things needful for such a life as our Nature doth
desire, a life fit for the dignity of man,
therefore to supply those defects and imperfections which are in us, as living
single and solely by ourselves, we are naturally induced to seek communion
and fellowship with others; this was the cause of men uniting themselves
as first in politic societies." But I, moreover, affirm that all men are
naturally in that state, and remain so till, by their own consents, they
make themselves members of some politic society, and I doubt not, in the sequel of this discourse, to make it very clear."...
(see John Locke's "Essay Concerning The True Original, Extent, and End of Civil Government" for more.)
1.) Laws of Nature and of Natures God Entitle Them and Morality:
A
common phrase you hear from many is ``who are you to dictate morality" or
"normality", when laws are presented to restrict persons from doing certain
activities or distributing materials that are directly contrary to the ``Christian"
faith.
This, when the fact is Nature's God and laws of nature by itself dictate morality, not any one man or group.
The
Declaration of Independence: ".....and to assume among the powers of the
earth the separate and equal station to which the laws of nature and of nature's
God entitle them, ..."
Laws of Nature and of Natures God Entitle Them.
Sanity of mind is an inalienable right.
Nor can man simply ignore or dispose of such basic principles of sanity and expect to be protected as he corrupts both himself and others around him;
In this, one is not entitled.
------------------------------
Samuel Adams, Rights of the Colonists, 1772:
"If men through fear, fraud or mistake, should in terms renounce and give up any essential natural right, the eternal law of reason and the great end of society, would absolutely vacate such renunciation;
the right to freedom being the gift of God Almighty, it is not in the power of Man to alienate this gift, and voluntarily become a slave."
------------------------------
Those
things or actions of individuals that corrupt this sanity are not inalienable
rights. Such things are clear evidence of insanity.
People who fight
against these facts show that the battle is within themselves and attempt
in their actions to ignore obvious laws of nature and of true liberty.
True Liberty is defined in the:
Absolute Rights of the Colonists, 1772:
"Just and true liberty, equal and impartial liberty" in matters spiritual and temporal, is a thing that all Men are clearly entitled to, by the eternal and immutable laws Of God and nature, as well as by the law of Nations, & all well grounded municipal laws, which "must" have their foundation in the "former".--"
Richard Hooker, Eccl. Pol. iii. 9: 11.
"Human laws are measures in respect of men whose actions they must direct, howbeit such measures they are as have also their higher rules to be measured by, which rules are two --
the "law of God" and the "law of Nature"; so that laws human must be made according to the "general laws of Nature", and without contradiction to any "positive law" of "Scripture", otherwise they are "ill" made."
(see further history on this Author which John Locke and the Founders derived the laws of freedom)
-----------------------------
In
reality, there is only one area of life that presents a human with a issue
that is both a physical necessity and inevitability; and, a potentially
harmful activity; and that is sexuality.
It is a physical condition that continually creates a demand.
A
condition which becomes a willful crime against Nature and Morality when
it is treated in a unnatural way, willfully (voluntarily) or un-willfully
enslaved, imposed upon others to accept through involuntary servitude, marketed
or sold.
Unnatural activities are not new to the world, and have been here since the beginning.
It
has been man's ability to see those activities as never being productive;
which are indeed very damaging to anyone mentally and physically partakes
in such activities and who wholly and habitually engages in them.
A
review of what is available on the Internet today if one wants or needs to
know, will illustrate that ours and other societies have within them a segment
that wholly engages in the wholesale distribution of peoples lives who have
been unable to distance themselves enough from what they have been in the
past drawn into, or are involved in, to understand just how much they are
being injured.
Disease is only a obvious result from this activity, however the greatest damage is within the mind itself;
The mind being a muscle that when exercised with the correct laws of nature becomes strong and steady;
But when allowed constant and habitual misuse, it becomes weak, easily controlled by others and unstable.
By
using natures natural demand, marketers of corruption of the laws of nature
and a sound mind sell deviations of nature that corrupt its laws so to gain
profit from the confusion it creates;
Many of those that have been
lured into the pornography market are by materials most people have viewed
one time or another which passed about and viewed by a natural curiosity
from a wholly natural physical desire.
Many also have been indoctrinated
at a early age through seduction, molestation or rape by those who would
profit by some ones youthful folly, loneliness, naivety, unfortunate association,
family relation or relationship.
-----------------------
Where nature creates a natural demand and attraction, and curiosity is natural,
It
is a wholly and complete misconception that the recruitment, indoctrination,
marketing of peoples lives is in any way a right in a free country, or any
country.
This is absolute falsehood.
2.) Defining an Individuals Inalienable Rights:
First,
to understand where we have taken the wrong path in this country, lets look
at a Founders statement on the subject of rights and slavery:
----------------------
Samuel Adams, Rights of the Colonists, 1772:
"If men through fear, fraud or mistake, should in terms renounce and give up any essential natural right, the eternal law of reason and the great end of society, would absolutely vacate such renunciation;
the right to freedom being the gift of God Almighty, it is not in the power of Man to alienate this gift, and voluntarily become a slave."
----------------------
The
point that is presented here is that inalienable rights cannot be lost to
others, lost from themselves, given away, sold, bargained for, or outlawed.
You or others cannot remove inalienable rights from yourself or others.
They are certain and inalienable rights.
To present that one, even of himself, could sell his rights, would be to allow for willful self slavery, which is wholly against the foundations of nature and of freedom.
So when and where does this slavery begin?
What must we do to protect these inalienable rights of all mankind?;
How do we differentiate between a person's "freedom of choice" and "Willful act of voluntary slavery"?
----------------------
Lets see what:
Thomas Jefferson says of rights and liberty and limits and law:
"Rightful liberty is unobstructed action according to our will within "limits" drawn around us by the "equal rights of others".
I do not add 'within the limits of the law', because law is often but the tyrant's will, and always so when it "violates" the "rights" of the individual. ~~"
----------------------
The important key words are rightful liberty ie. Inalienable Rights and "Limits";
The laws of nature and of natures God entitle them define these Liberties, Inalienable Rights and Limits.
What are some of these "Limits?":
John Locke 6.
But though this be a state of liberty, yet it is "not" a "state of licence"; though man in that state have an uncontrollable liberty to dispose of his person or possessions, yet he has not liberty to destroy himself, or so much as any creature in his possession, but where some "nobler use" than its bare preservation calls for it.
John Locke 57. ".... the end of law is not to abolish or restrain, but to "preserve" and enlarge "freedom". For in all the states of created beings, capable of laws, "where there is no law" "there is no freedom".
For "liberty" is to be free from restraint and violence from others, which cannot be where there is no law; and is not, as we are told, "a liberty for every man to do what he lists." For who could be free, when every other man's humour might domineer over him?
But a liberty to dispose and order freely as he lists his person, actions, possessions, and his whole property within the "allowance" of "those laws" under which he "is", and therein not to be subject to the arbitrary will of another, but freely follow his own."
John Locke 59.
This holds in all the laws a man is under, whether natural or civil. Is a
man under the law of Nature? What made him free of that law? what gave him
a free disposing of his property, according to his own will, within the compass
of that law? I answer, an estate wherein he might be supposed capable to "know" "that law", that so he might keep his actions "within the bounds of it".
When he has acquired that state, he is presumed to know how far that law
is to be his guide, and how far he may make use of his freedom, and so comes to have it;
John Locke 63. The freedom then of man, and liberty of acting according to his own will, is grounded on his having "reason", which is able to instruct him in that law he is to govern himself by, and make him know how far he is left to the freedom of his own will.
We, each of us, all are limited to our own rights, we cannot invade the inalienable rights of others.
Nor can one accept willful violation or relinquishment of another persons rights; as this would be Voluntary slavery; as James Madison clearly acknowledges.
Where one may believe that he or she can relinquish their own essential natural rights, it is in fact voluntary slavery;
The action is not one of Freedom, but of a willful and voluntary subjugation to another.
Anyone who attempts to accept that person's essential natural right, for any reason, has in effect engaged in slavery.
Each has placed his own freedom in peril by his actions:
The Constitution of the United States:
Amendment XIII
[Proposed 1865; Ratified 1865]
Section. 1. Neither "slavery" nor "involuntary servitude", except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction.
Section. 2. Congress shall have power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation.
Declaration of Independence:
That all men are created equal; that they are endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable rights; that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
----------------------
The limiting factors in a free country would be this:
Where one may be willing to give freely, it is illegal and against freedoms laws for another to accept.
Were
one attempts to market for profit of any kind from this voluntary subjugation
or voluntary slavery, it is the wholesale marketing of the crime against
humanity, against the laws of nature, against God's liberties.
Such shall be deemed by
these facts slavery and rendered illegal by the obvious crime against nature,
freedom and the laws of a free country.
----------------------
This is the basis of crimes against natures laws, against the laws that natures God entitle them, against the laws of freedom and the basis and definition of the crime of slavery.
Freedoms
Laws of nature and laws that natures God entitle them, allows for personal
choice but disallows others to accept that persons voluntary relinquishment
of his or her own inalienable rights into slavery.
3.) Protection of Inalienable Rights
This
is the bases by which the Oregon Patriot Party will actively pursue bills
that will limit, hinder and prosecute the markets which deal in slavery of
this kind in our state:
The wholesale marketing of inalienable rights
or distribution of such materials that actively engage in such trade for
profit will be abolished.
Where freedom of the press will not be
hampered, the activities, products which promote and persons who profit in
the market in our state, will be actively pursued to immediately desist;
and if such acts and promotion of slavery concerning these inalienable rights
are not halted, those persons will be punished with time.
To protect
privacy, but also to promote local community laws that allow greater powers
to victims in civil courts to prosecute sodomy and past indoctrination of
the innocent so to create an unfavorable atmosphere for those who misuse,
deal in and market the destruction human lives.
Local Laws based on
the above will set precedence; Maintaining that citizens, local communities,
county and state governments have the responsibility in preserving standards
of decency in America. This is a local community, county and state power
to regulate the crimes of slavery, voluntary slavery, sodomy and prostitution
-----------------------------------------------------
Of the three involved in the activity:
1.) Those who mistakenly attempt to give up their inalienable right;
2.) Those who market illegally inalienable rights and
3.) Those through natural curiosity partake of the product or activity;
It is those (2) who market that bear the greatest crime.
For without their participation to promote or market, few or none would find cause, product or effect.
4.) Unnatural Acts and Protections of the Freedom of Choice:
One
such misconception by some homosexual groups is the attempt to present that
a free society as being built to allow unnatural activity against the wishes
of others;
And not only to be simply allowed, but also to force their
association of themselves and unnatural habits with others in the public
and in the work place and on employers.
This would be involuntary servitude,
forcing a person to serve another, whom he wishes not to serve, with either
- attention, company, companionship, work condition, association or employment.
--------------------
Involuntary servitude is illegal in a free country:
--------------------
The Constitution of the United States:
Amendment XIII
[Proposed 1865; Ratified 1865]
Section. 1. Neither "slavery" nor "involuntary servitude", except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction.
Section. 2. Congress shall have power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation.
----------------
A.) Prohibits Slavery and Involuntary Servitude of any kind, even for a employer to be forced to serve an "employee".
B.) This invokes the Inalienable Right of "The Freedom of Choice"
C.) Allows for Congress to enforce by "appropriate legislation"
----------------
As presented above, the fact that one gives up his natural rights, does not allow others to partake of "the supposed relinquishment" of those rights that are in fact inalienable, in any way, any unnatural way or for gain.
To be "secure in ones person, papers and effects" is an inalienable right.
There is no security in ones person in relation to slavery of any kind.
Nor
must others be forced to associate with those actively and openly engaging
or declaring their involvement in such acts of slavery where one or more
participants gives up natural rights to another; or of and between each other
in an unnatural activity.
Such attempts to force ones will upon anyone or an employer are baseless,
especially when an employer's wishes are simply not to have such participants
of immorality around or have themselves or their company associated with
them.
This is the freedom of choice.
----------
Prejudice is to pre - judge another by his or her race, religion, or gender or things which no person has the power over;
Prejudice
is in no way associated with willful, obvious, openly announced or discovered
"bad habits" on or off the job of any kind.
Especially of People who have all the physical equipment, have the ability to use it correctly, and use it as nature intended,
..... then willfully and voluntarily >>> choose >>>>> NOT TO.
It is here a measure of "willful insanity by choice" by those engaging in such behavior, when a person or persons present this as a habitual continual establishment of one of their life's goals and further attempts to indoctrinate others and or market the same.
5.) Defending the Freedom of Choice of the Employer and Citizens:
Being an unnatural act, relinquishment of essential natural rights and a bad habit, to what do we compare it with in the work place.
Lets look at the problem in a way everyone can get a clear perspective of what is really occurring here.
We will humorously but seriously compare this to something we can comfortably relate to;
Further, to present the fallacy of elevating "bad habits", for which an individual has the physical ability to act as nature intended but has chosen not to; into some type of lifestyle, political establishment or enforceable right.
The
consequence being equal to a person who declares he was born with the mental
tendency to rob banks, so society must make available banks for which he may rob them of their value, dignity and security.
------------- Perspective -----------
To get a real perspective of what is happening, we will relate "Bad Habits within and the Workplace" to the obvious marketers and participators of the above mentioned insanities..
We will entitle this comparison as:
The Nose Pickers Association of America:
Now everyone, on occasion, may pick ones own nose.
This
is natural and not taken as a serious trait or habit done occasionally, briefly
or discreetly or in the privacy of ones home.
However, if done
to a point which is beyond the point of good taste, and continually, as a
bad habit in the work place, it can be grounds to be reprimanded, or if continued,
fired from ones job.
--------
Now lets say an employee, Joe the Nose Picker, decides its his right to pick his nose any time he wishes;
Instead of correcting his bad habit, ....
Joe
the Nose Picker decides to create "The Nose Pickers Association of America"
where he and others pick their noses after work and on weekends.
They then go National an soon a good number of people gather to pick their noses.
The
Employer of Joe the Nose Picker finds out that Joe involves himself in the
organization of this bad habit and tells Joe the Nose Picker he must quit
his involvement with this organization because:
1.) he does not like bad unnatural habits
2.) believes that picking ones nose continually is a mental illness, unnatural, a level of insanity and a sickness.
3.) believes it hurts his companies image to have a employee that openly involves himself in such activity.
Joe the Noes Picker is adamant and refuses to quit The Nose pickers Association of America;
and flatly refuses to quit his bad habit,
And Joe the Noes Picker is promptly fired.
Furious
of being reprimanded, Joe goes to The Nose Pickers Association of America
and begins taking steps to make his and other employers hire him regardless
of their bad habit.
The Nose Pickers Association of America now not only gathers people who pick their own noses;
But begin to gather those to enjoy picking each others noses:
Man
to women, women to man, man to man, women to woman, woman to girl, man to
boy, man to animal, woman to animal, man to object, woman to object, two
men to one women, etc.
Joe the Nose Picker then lobbies political
parties to pass legislation to force Joe's ex-employer to hire him back and
insure that all other employers must accept The Nose Pickers Association
of America's after work and weekend habits.
The Nose Pickers Association
of America proclaims habitual picking of ones and others noses is not a bad
habit but a respectable ....
"Lifestyle" .....
Further the
Nose Pickers Association of America declares they were born that way and
it is perfectly normal to pick other peoples noses of others, the same sex,
dogs etc.
A lifestyle that everyone must accept, or be labeled prejudice, fined and sued.
The
Nose Pickers Association of America proclaims that nose picking is a genetically
acquired trait and they can't help themselves;
Therefor even though
they have the right equipment to use Kleenex only when needed, choice to
be discreet and the ability not to pick their nose;
They argue (in
their growing insanity) that the genetic demand upon them is so great that
they must pick theirs and even other peoples noses.
The Nose Pickers
Association of America then finds sympathetic doctors and members of their
nose picking group that are in government political positions to lobby and
write bills.
Laws are passed.
Joe's ex-employer
refuses to comply with the laws and is promptly sued, other companies fear
retribution and begin complying with the new laws.......
6.) Marketing of Insanity:
-------- Nose Pickers Association of America Part 2 --------
The
majority of the public is in a quandary on how to deal with such a onslot
of perverse unnatural acts and hopes it is simply a fad that will simply
go away.
The Nose Pickers Association of America has different ideas however;
They
are now a Nonprofit Organization and are dependent on the benefits of self
created jobs of this status from donations, and taxpayer incentives and continue
to promote materials that stir up turmoil.
And The Nose Pickers Association
of America begins to recruit closet nose pickers, and part time nose pickers
and even those who have only picked their nose once or twice by convincing
them that they have no choice because they are genetically born that way.
Many disillusioned nose pickers fall into the organization.
They
also begin a campaign to indoctrinate the young, the weak at mind,
the lonely and disgruntled, that feel the need to be accepted.
THEIR MOTTO:
Join the The Nose Pickers Association of America, we care if nobody else cares.
They
begin to film adamant nose pickers and distribute via VCR, DVD, cable TV
and Internet Quicktime movies of them to brainwash and indoctrinate more
of the same selling it as normal and acceptable.
Selling titles such as "Nose Pickers in Bondage" and "Deep Nostril"
The
Nose Pickers Association of America begin to sell pretty rainbow colored
bumper stickers to sell their bad habit; just as "Joe the Camel" is
used to sell cigarettes to children to entice them into the addiction of
a unhealthful habit of smoking.
Millions of dollars are made and the
marketing scheme selling cable movies packaged with other family rated movies
and The Membership of the Nose Pickers Association of America increases.
National parades ensue and they pronounce National Nose Pickers Day.
Organized
crime gets involved around the world seeing the profits of nose picker slavery,
nose rape films, nose porno and many other deviations such as extortion of
money of those who have fell into their traps and try to leave without paying.
Since
there is no crime in anyone over 18 involving themselves in their schemes
they have the young and naive state that they are 18 years of age on before
the act of picking their nose;
Even though they have no idea of the
fact their entire life is ruined by their short lived actions that will be
viewed forever through the Nose Pickers Association of America marketing
machine
Many are resolved to remain, never having a normal life;
Others commit suicide after realizing what they have done and seeing no hope after being labeled a "once nose picker";
A few just realized they were duped and learn to start anew.
Organized crime uses technology and location in foreign countries to conceal and evade law efforts on the criminal end;
And
also twist the 1st amendment right to advocate their criminal and damaging
activities which consume the same unwary and continue corrupting the country.
-------- Nose Pickers Association of America Part 3 --------
The public watches helplessly not knowing what steps to take.
Their knowledge of their rights as Americans are lacking;
They are unwilling to stand up and make a stand.
Their representatives are weak and indecisive on what to do.
The
criminals take advantage of the situation as the Nose Pickers Association
of America Profits from their Nonprofit status and donations from their marketing
campaigns.
America is held hostage from growing damaging corruption and insanity that prays on the naive..
7.) Solution to the Dilemma
It is clear that most Americans have forgot the reasons for local and states powers not granted or prohibited to the federal government are left to the states and to the people.
US Constitution - Amendment X: The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.
Nothing
in the Constitution prohibits very local and state legislators from enacting
common law based on the obvious laws of nature, nor to regulate marketing
of such products, criminal activities and indoctrination.
John Locke Essay on Toleration:
"...In the next place: As the magistrate has no power to impose by his laws
the use of any rites and ceremonies in any Church, so neither has he any
power to forbid the use of such rites and ceremonies as are already received,
approved, and practiced by any Church; because, if he did so, he would destroy
the Church itself: the end of whose institution is only to worship God with
freedom after its own manner.
You will say, by this rule,
if some congregations should have a mind to sacrifice infants, or (as the
primitive Christians were falsely accused) lustfully pollute themselves in
promiscuous uncleanness, or practice any other such "heinous enormities",
is the magistrate obliged to tolerate them, because they are committed in
a religious assembly? I answer: No. These things are "not lawful" in the "ordinary course of life", "nor in any private house"; and therefore "neither are they so in the worship of God, or in any religious meeting"."
John Locke 8: "...In transgressing the law of Nature, the offender declares himself to live by another rule than that of reason and common equity, which is that measure God has set to the actions of men for their mutual security, and so he becomes dangerous to mankind;..."
The
Declaration of Independence and Constitution is not created to allow either
our governments or our citizens to be held hostage by obvious criminally
motivated and marketed insanity.
The people have the right to secure their own happiness, and with the laws of nature and natures God entitle them.
Sanity of a mind established by the laws of nature and of natures God is an inalienable right.
True Liberty is defined in the Absolute Rights of the Colonists, 1772:
"Just and true liberty, equal and impartial liberty" in matters spiritual and temporal, is a thing that all Men are clearly entitled to, by the eternal and immutable laws Of God and nature, as well as by the law of Nations, & all well grounded municipal laws, which "must" have their foundation in the "former".--"
8.) Laws that use Reverse Prejudice
Read these Documents
The
Constitution defines limits on the Federal government, not local governments
regarding obvious corruption of the simple laws of nature and common sense.
The Constitution declares acknowledgment of rights;
But the Constitution's purpose also is to limit the powers of the Federal Government.
Those things that are not limited or granted are reserved for the States and the People.
Thomas Jefferson says of rights, liberty, limits and law:
"Rightful liberty is unobstructed action according to "our will" within "limits" drawn around us by the "equal rights" of others.
I do not add 'within the limits of the law', because law is often but the tyrant's will, and always so when it "violates" the "rights" of the individual. ~~"
Laws
that use reverse prejudice; Of a sort that forces others to do, or
associate themselves with, people that do or act in ways they don't want
to be associated with for what ever reason; is in direct violation of the
equal rights of any individual to be secure in ones person, papers and effects (property).
Forcing someone through LAW to accept the bad habits or actions of others, breaks through those limits drawn around each of us and invades and Violates the rights of another individual.
You may have a right to act stupid or unnatural, but no one and no government has a right to force acceptance of that stupidity on others.
This,
when in fact, the Founding Fathers and nearly the entire public at that time
the country and freedom was created would have hung most any man or woman
that violated another person in such a way, or tried to profit from those
things, as it was clearly not what was intended by the laws they had placed
to protect the common good of society based upon nature and the laws of God
by which they often referred.
Natures laws and Morality is not presented
just by the Bible, but also from the repetitive time tested lessons throughout
all of time.
It is simply a fact:
John Locke 10. Besides the crime which consists in violating the laws, and varying from the right rule of reason, whereby a man so far becomes degenerate, and declares himself to quit the principles of human nature and to be a noxious creature, there is commonly injury done, and some person or other, some other man, receives damage by his transgression; in which case, he who hath received any damage has (besides the right of punishment common to him, with other men) a particular right to seek reparation from him that hath done it. And any
other person who finds it just may also join with him that is injured, and
assist him in recovering from the offender so much as may make satisfaction
for the harm he hath suffered.
John Locke 11.
From these two distinct rights (the one of punishing the crime, for restraint
and preventing the like offence, which right of punishing is in everybody,
the other of taking reparation, which belongs only to the injured party)
comes
it to pass that the magistrate, who by being magistrate hath the common right
of punishing put into his hands, can often, where the public good demands
not the execution of the law, remit the punishment of "criminal offences"
by his own authority,
but yet cannot remit the satisfaction due to any private man for the damage
he has received. That he who hath suffered the damage has a right to demand
in his own name, and he alone can remit. The damnified person has this power
of appropriating to himself the goods or service of the offender by right
of self-preservation, as every man has a power to punish the crime to
prevent its being committed again, by the right he has of preserving all
mankind, and doing all reasonable things he can in order to that end. And thus it is that every man in the state of Nature has a power to kill a murderer, both to deter others from doing the like injury (which no reparation can compensate) by the example of the punishment that attends it from everybody, and also to secure men from the attempts of a criminal who, having renounced reason, the common rule and measure God hath given to mankind, hath, by the unjust violence and slaughter he hath committed upon one, declared war against all mankind, and therefore may be destroyed as a lion or a tiger, one of those wild savage beasts with whom men can have no society nor security. And upon this is grounded that great law of nature, "Whoso sheddeth man's blood, by man shall his blood be shed."
And Cain was so fully convinced that every one had a right to destroy such
a criminal, that, after the murder of his brother, he cries out, "Every one
that findeth me shall slay me," so plain was it writ in the hearts of all
mankind.
John Locke 12. By the same reason may a man in the state of Nature punish the lesser breaches of that law, it will, perhaps, be demanded, with death? I answer: Each transgression may be punished to that degree,
and with so much severity, as will suffice to make it an ill bargain to the
offender, give him cause to repent, and terrify others from doing the like.
Every offence that can be committed in the state of Nature may, in the state
of Nature, be also punished equally, and as far forth, as it may, in a commonwealth.
For
though it would be beside my present purpose to enter here into the particulars
of the law of Nature, or its measures of punishment, yet it is certain there
is such a law, and that too as intelligible and plain to a rational creature
and a studier of that law as the positive laws of commonwealths, nay, possibly
plainer; as much as reason is easier to be understood than the fancies and intricate contrivances of men, following contrary and hidden interests put into words; for truly so are a great part of the municipal laws of countries, which are only so far right as they are founded on the law of Nature, by which they are to be regulated and interpreted.
John Locke 13. To this strange doctrine -- viz., That in the state of Nature every one has the executive power of the law of Nature
-- I doubt not but it will be objected that it is unreasonable for men to
be judges in their own cases, that self-love will make men partial to themselves
and their friends; and, on the other side, ill-nature, passion, and revenge
will carry them too far in punishing others, and hence nothing but confusion
and disorder will follow, and that therefore God hath certainly appointed
government to restrain the partiality and violence of men. I easily grant
that civil government is the proper remedy for the inconveniences of the state of Nature,
which must certainly be great where men may be judges in their own case,
since it is easy to be imagined that he who was so unjust as to do his brother
an injury will scarce be so just as to condemn himself for it. But I shall
desire those who make this objection to remember that absolute monarchs are but men; and if government is to be the remedy of those evils which necessarily follow from men being judges in their own cases, and the state of Nature is therefore not to be endured, I desire to know what kind of government that is, and how much better it is than the state of Nature, where one man commanding a multitude has the liberty to be judge in his own case, and may do to all his subjects whatever he pleases without the least question or control of those who execute his pleasure? and in whatsoever he doth, whether led by reason, mistake, or passion, must be submitted to?
which men in the state of Nature are not bound to do one to another. And
if he that judges, judges amiss in his own or any other case, he is answerable for it to the rest of mankind.
John Locke 14. It is often asked as a mighty objection, where are, or ever were, there any men in such a state of Nature?
To which it may suffice as an answer at present, that since all princes and
rulers of "independent" governments all through the world are in a state of Nature, it is plain the world never was, nor never will be, without numbers of men in that state. I have named "all governors" of "independent" communities, "whether they are, or are not, in league with others"; for it is not every compact that puts an end to the state of Nature between men, but only this one of agreeing together mutually to enter into one community, and make one body politic; other promises and compacts men may make one with another, and yet still be in the state of Nature.
The promises and bargains for truck, etc., between the two men in Soldania,
in or between a Swiss and an Indian, in the woods of America, are binding to them, though they are perfectly in a state of Nature in reference to one another for truth, and keeping of faith belongs to men as men, and not as members of society.
John Locke 15.
To those that say there were never any men in the state of Nature, I will
not oppose the authority of the judicious Hooker (Eccl. Pol. i. 10), where
he says, "the laws which have been hitherto mentioned" -- i.e., the
laws of Nature -- "do bind men absolutely, even as they are men, although
they have never any settled fellowship, never any solemn agreement amongst
themselves what to do or not to do; but for as much as we are not
by ourselves sufficient to furnish ourselves with competent store of things
needful for such a life as our Nature doth desire, a life fit for the dignity of man, therefore to supply those defects and imperfections which are in us,
as living single and solely by ourselves, we are naturally induced to seek
communion and fellowship with others; this was the cause of men uniting themselves
as first in politic societies." But I, moreover, affirm that all men
are naturally in that state, and remain so till, by their own consents, they
make themselves members of some politic society, and I doubt not, in the sequel of this discourse, to make it very clear."...
To say that this much history is not being a valid time tested lesson on something so basic, is nothing short of "staged ignorance".
One ``freedom" that is ironically ignored in this country is the freedom for all to choose.
That should mean the ``freedom of choice" to say ``I want nothing to do with that person".
But as soon as anyone says this, they are deemed ``prejudice"; Even though their opinion is based on a known and openly established, announced unnatural actions and behavior of another, whose actions are offensive to him, his family, friends and others around him he associates and does business with.
Then, the same persons that cry prejudice turn
to force others to accept not only their unnatural behavior, but also their
bad habits to be associated with others lives and others businesses;
And thereby attempt to force their acquaintance upon others who see clearly their openly announced perverse behavior and want nothing to do with them, nor any association with them;
A one way street for the corrupt.
What is really ironic is that those people that fight against such morality, depend fully on the source of that same morality to protect them in other areas of life;
For
instance killing someone without cause of defense, is presented as a crime;
but what if there were no morals to prevent this? For what distinguishes
that each man as having a special individual equal right to life but God's
word that declares and dictates this, as well as to all laws of morality;
Their argument is that they hurt only themselves ....but then go out and involve, recruit and corrupt others.
A
man that does these activities, is always looking to others to defend their
foolish mistakes/views/unnatural habits and/or to make profit from them in
order to further legitimize their poor actions and ridiculously foolish habits.
John
Locke covers this in his writings with regard to "Toleration" and his statements
are repeated by Samuel Adams in the Absolute Rights of the Colonists, 1772:
John Locke Essay on Toleration:
"...In the next place: As the magistrate has no power to impose by his laws
the use of any rites and ceremonies in any Church, so neither has he any
power to forbid the use of such rites and ceremonies as are already received,
approved, and practiced by any Church; because, if he did so, he would destroy
the Church itself: the end of whose institution is only to worship God with
freedom after its own manner.
You will say, by this rule, if some
congregations should have a mind to sacrifice infants, or (as the primitive
Christians were falsely accused) lustfully pollute themselves in promiscuous
uncleanness, or practice any other such "heinous enormities", is the magistrate obliged to tolerate them, because they are committed in a religious assembly? I answer: No. These things are "not lawful" in the "ordinary course of life", "nor in any private house"; and therefore "neither are they so in the worship of God, or in any religious meeting"."
Dictionary: enormity - enormities. 1. The quality of passing all moral bounds; excessive wickedness or outrageousness.
Samuel Adams, Rights of the Colonists, 1772
"If
men through fear, fraud or mistake, should "in terms" renounce and give up
any essential natural right, the eternal law of reason and the great end
of society, would absolutely vacate such renunciation; the right to freedom
being the gift of God Almighty, it is not in the power of Man to alienate
this gift, and "voluntarily" become a slave."
This establishing that one cannot give up ones life or any essential natural right defined by God or Nature.
John Locke 6. But though this be a state of liberty, yet it is "not" a "state of licence"; though man in that state have an uncontrollable liberty to dispose of his person or possessions, yet he has not liberty to destroy himself, or so much as any creature in his possession, but where some "nobler use" than its bare preservation calls for it. The state of Nature has a law of Nature to "govern it", which "obliges every one", and "reason", which "is" that law, teaches all mankind who will but consult it,
that being all equal and independent, no one ought to harm another in his
life, health, liberty or possessions; for men being all the workmanship of
one omnipotent and infinitely wise Maker; all the servants of one sovereign
Master, sent into the world by His order and about His business; they are
His property, whose workmanship they are made to last during His, not one
another's pleasure.
John Locke 21. Freedom, then, is "not"
what Sir Robert Filmer tells us: "A liberty for every one to do what he lists,
to live as he pleases, and not to be tied by any laws"; but freedom of men
under government is to have a "standing rule" to live by, common to "every
one" of that society, and made by the legislative power erected in it. A
liberty to follow my own will in all things where that "rule" prescribes
not, not to be subject to the inconstant, uncertain, unknown, arbitrary will
of another man, as freedom of nature is to be under no other "restraint"
>>>"but" the "law of Nature"."<<<
John Locke 57.
" ...Could they be happier without it, the law, as a useless thing, would
of itself vanish; and that ill deserves the name of confinement which hedges
us in only from bogs and precipices. So that however it may be mistaken,
the end of law is not to abolish or restrain, but to preserve and enlarge
freedom. For in all the states of created beings, capable of laws, where there is "no law" "there is no freedom". For liberty is to be free from restraint (APP Note see Locke 21: "but from that of the Laws of Nature") and violence from others, which cannot be where there is no law; and is "not", as we are told, "a liberty for every man to do what he lists."
For
who could be free, when every other man's humour might domineer over him?
But a liberty to dispose and order freely as he lists his person, actions,
possessions, and his whole property "within the allowance of those laws" under "which he is", and therein not to be subject to the "arbitrary will" of another, but freely follow his own."
Where
freedom insures an individuals right to privacy, even to include someone
else's rights who wish to engage willingly in foolish actions with them;
Wholesale distribution to those not already corrupted, for gain, profit or
recruitment of such immoral activities, that are in fact ``morally" and ``mentally"
damaging, are not protected. Nor is other forms of corrupt brainwashing.
If
they were, it would be a freedom to willfully harm others with that which
has been documented throughout time as causing such a corruption and damage.
The damage not only to the laws of nature, freedom and against Gods
laws, but also clearly damaging to mans mental strength and spiritual wellness;
and no country can stand strong if it has wholly corrupted itself.
Samuel Adams:
"Liberty will not long survive the total extinction of morals."
"As long as the people are virtuous they cannot be subdued; but when once they lose their virtue they will be ready to surrender their liberties to the first external or internal invader....
If virtue and knowledge are diffused among the people, they will never be enslaved.
This will be their great security ."
In
a free country education of the Laws of Nature and of which Natures God entitle
them are essential lessons to be learned and a rule to be upheld by ones
self; as freedom imposes upon each individual one law to survive.
That
one law, is individual responsibility to uphold natures laws and the laws
that natures God entitle him and and his interaction with others.
Each
individual in this country is a king, and we cannot avert our responsibilities
to others or to the government or any ruler.
You alone are responsible for your actions.
9.) Reducing and Correcting the Atmosphere of Folly:
Nature, Age, Natural desire, Marriage, Family and Social Education demands of society.
Parents responsibilities and powers.
Individual responsibilities.
10.) Learning the lessons of life quickly within ones lifetime:
A interest note: All of the Founding Fathers gave thanks to God (of the bible) and prayed to God each time they gathered.
George Washington:
"[W]e ought to be no less persuaded that the propitious smiles of Heaven, can never be expected on a nation that disregards the eternal rules of order and right, which Heaven itself has ordained.
True Liberty is defined in the Absolute Rights of the Colonists, 1772:
"Just and true liberty, equal and impartial liberty" in matters spiritual and temporal, is a thing that all Men are clearly entitled to, by the eternal and immutable laws Of God and nature, as well as by the law of Nations, & all well grounded municipal laws, which "must" have their foundation in the "former".--"
John Locke 135: "Thus the "law of Nature" stands as an "eternal rule" to "all men", "legislators" as well as others.
The rules that they make for, other men's actions must, as well as their own and other men's actions,
be "conformable" to the "law of Nature" -- i.e., "to" the "will" of "God",
of which that is a >>> "declaration", <<<
and the fundamental "law of Nature" being the "preservation of mankind",
>>>"no" human sanction can be good or valid against it.<<<"
