J.A.I.L.'s Response:
(by Barbie)
Thank you, Morgan, for
your comments. The reason the concept of J.A.I.L. is so foreign to most
people is
because "most people" are deceived about what J.A.I.L.
is about. Even if most people believe the system works, they still need J.A.I.L. in place in
order to assure it continues to work, and more
importantly-- that it works PROPERLY under
constitutional standards. The fact that most people see the system working, does not justify the
PRESUMPTION therefore
that it is working constitutionally. Therein lies the danger to the future of the People's lives-- we cannot leave the constitutional protection of our inherent rights --indeed to Life itself-- to mere Presumption.
Our natural rights,
endowed by our Creator, are the most cherished possessions we have. They are
priceless! Are "most people" thinking responsibly when leaving
the integrity of our public trust (government), into whose hands our very
lives are entrusted, to just the
Presumption
that it will remain
honorable to everyone, or even to "most people" for an indefinite period of
time? Do "most people" leave their doors unlocked, and their valuables
vulnerable, presuming that their possessions won't be stolen? Oh! but
that's "society" which cannot be trusted-- we can always trust "the system" to
work honestly, according to "most people."
The problem with "most
people" is that they are unable to think beyond themselves. If only "some
people" had their rights confiscated by "the system," is it right to
presume that they are those who have an unjustified gripe against the system,
i.e., convicted criminals, who most people believe are getting their just
punishment? Is it right to presume that convicted criminals
received the process that was due under the law and that accordingly their
punishment is just?
The "system" is the
public trust for ALL people, not just "most" people. When it comes to our "life,
liberty, and the pursuit of happiness," if those properties are unjustly taken
from only "some people," then it is the duty of "most people" to think
responsibly and not just leave "some people" vulnerable under the
presumption that the "system works."
The time will come when
"most people" who believe the "system works" and thereby
presume that "it works constitutionally" will live to
regret their apathy and wish they had the good sense to realize the value of
J.A.I.L.
