The Magistrate would not burn them at the stake although surely a great many of the colonists would have surely recommended such a solution. Our forefathers were baffled by them.<br \/>\nIn the first place where did they come from? Of all who sailed from England to Plymouth in 1620, not one of them was aboard.<br \/>\n&#8220;Vermin,&#8221; that&#8217;s what the Colonist called them. \u201cParasites\u201d who fed on human misery, spreading sorrow and confusion wherever they went.<br \/>\n&#8220;Destructive,&#8221; they were called.<br \/>\nAnd still they were permitted co-existence with the colonists, for a while, anyway. Of course there were colonial laws prohibiting the practice of their infamous craft. Somehow a way was always found around all those laws.<br \/>\nIn 1641, Massachusetts Bay colony took a novel approach to the problem. The governors attempted to starve the &#8220;devils&#8221; out of existence through economic exclusion. They were denied wages, and thereby it was hoped that they would perish.<br \/>\nFour years later, Virginia followed the example of Massachusetts Bay and for a while it seemed that the dilemma had been resolved.<br \/>\nIt had not, somehow the &#8220;parasites&#8221; managed to survive, and the mere nearness of them made the colonists skin crawl.<br \/>\nIn 1658, in Virginia, the final solution; banishment; exile. The &#8220;treacherous ones&#8221; were cast out of the colony. At last, after decades of enduring the &#8220;psychological gloom&#8221;, the sun came out and the birds sang, and all was right with the world. And the elation continued for a generation.<br \/>\nI&#8217;m not sure why the Virginians eventually allowed the outcasts to return, but they did. In 1680 after twenty-two years, the despised ones were readmitted to the colony on the condition that they be subjected to the strictest surveillance.<br \/>\nHow soon we forget!!<br \/>\nFor indeed over the next half century or so, the imposed restrictions were slowly, quietly swept away. And those whose treachery had been feared since the middle ages ultimately took their place in society.<br \/>\nYou see, the &#8220;vermin&#8221; that once infested colonial America, the \u201dparasites\u201d who prayed on the misfortunes of their neighbours until finally they were officially banished from Virginia, those dreaded, despised, outcasts, \u201cmasters of confusion\u201d were LAWYERS.<\/p>\n<p>Lawyers and the Legal Trade\u2028 (as distinguished from the LAW)<br \/>\n28 \u201cQuotes\u201d from the man who trained them.\u2028 A prominent Law Professor who taught lawyers for over 40 years.<\/p>\n<p>1. \u201cThe whole legal trade is made up of lawyers, by lawyers and for lawyers for private gain in order to perpetuate their Hocus Pocus regarding the phoniness of the whole legal process.\u201d<br \/>\n2. \u201cI outlined my ideas about the book, and about the law, to a lawyer who is not only able but also extraordinarily frank and perceptive about his profession. \u201cSure,\u201d he said, \u201cbut why give the show away?\u201d<br \/>\n3. \u201cOf all the specialized skills abroad in the world today, the average man knows least about the one that affects him most \u2013 about the thing that lawyers call The Law.\u201d<br \/>\n4. \u201cIt is the lawyers who run our civilization for us \u2013 our governments, our business, our private lives. Most legislators are lawyers; they make our laws. Most presidents, governors, commissioners, along with their advisers and brain-trusters are lawyers; they administer our laws. All the judges are lawyers; they interpret and enforce our laws. There is no separation of powers where the lawyers are concerned. There is only a concentration of all government power \u2013 in the lawyers. As the schoolboy put it, ours is \u201ca government of lawyers, not of men. We all live in it, but the lawyers run it.\u201d<br \/>\n5. \u201cAnd in our private lives, we cannot buy a home or rent an apartment, we cannot get married or try to get divorced, we cannot die and leave our property to our children without calling on the lawyers to guide us. To guide us, incidentally, through a maze of confusing gestures and formalities that lawyers have created.\u201d<br \/>\n6. \u201cThere are several reasons for this mass submission, One is the average man\u2019s fear of the unknown \u2013 and of policemen. The law combines the threat of both. A non-lawyer confronted by The Law is like a child faced by a pitch-dark room. Merciless judges lurk there, ready to jump out at him.\u201d<br \/>\n7. \u201cYet lawyers can and often do talk about their product without telling anything about it at all. And that fact involves one of the chief reasons for the non-lawyer\u2019s persistent ignorance about the Law. Briefly, The Law is carried on in a foreign language.\u201d<br \/>\n8. \u201cMuch of the language of the law is built out of perfectly respectable English words which have been given a queer and different and exclusively legal meaning. It is, in short, a language that nobody but a lawyer understands. Or could understand.\u201d<br \/>\n9. \u201cFor the lawyers\u2019 trade is a trade built entirely on words. And so long as the lawyers carefully keep to themselves the key to what those words mean, the only way the average man can find out what is going on is to become a lawyer, or at least to study law, himself. All of which makes it very nice \u2013 and very secure \u2013 for the lawyers\u201d.<br \/>\n10. \u201cAnd it is only because the average man cannot play their game, and so cannot see for himself how intrinsically empty-of-meaning their playthings are, that the lawyers continue to get away with it.\u201d<br \/>\n11. \u201cThe legal trade, in short, is nothing but a high-class racket. It is a racket far more lucrative and more powerful and hence more dangerous than any of those minor and much-publicized rackets.\u201d<br \/>\n12. \u201cFurthermore, the lawyers \u2013 or at least 99\/100 per cent of them \u2013 are not even aware that they are indulging in a racket, and would be shocked at the very mention of the idea. Once bitten by the legal bug, they lose all sense of perspective about what they are doing and how they are doing it. Like the medicine men of tribal times and the priests of the Middle Ages they actually believe in their own nonsense. This fact, of course, makes their racket all the more insidious. Consecrated fanatics are always more dangerous than conscious villains. And lawyers are fanatics indeed about the sacredness of the word-magic they call The Law.\u201d<br \/>\n13. \u201cYet the saddest and most insidious fact about the legal racket is that the general public doesn\u2019t realize it\u2019s a racket either. Scared, befuddled, impressed and ignorant, they take what is fed them, or rather what is sold them. Only once an age do the non-lawyers get, not wise, but disgusted, and rebel. In every revolution the lawyers lead the way to the guillotine or the firing squad.\u201d<br \/>\n14. \u201cIt should not, however, require a revolution to rid society of lawyer-control. Nor is riddance by revolution ever likely to be a permanent solution. The American colonists had scarcely freed themselves from the nuisances of The Law by practically ostracizing the pre-Revolutionary lawyers out of their communities \u2013 a fact which is little appreciated \u2013 when a new and home-made crop of lawyers sprang up to take over the affairs of the baby nation.\u201d<br \/>\n15. \u201cIf people could be made to realize how much of the vaunted majesty of The Law is a hoax and how many of the mighty processes of The Law are merely logical legerdemain, they would not long let the lawyers lead them around by the nose. And people have recently begun, bit by bit, to catch on. The great illusion of The Law has been leaking a little at the edges\u201d.<br \/>\n16. \u201cAnd perhaps if the ordinary man could see in black and white how silly and irrelevant and unnecessary it all is, he might be persuaded, in a peaceful way, to take the control of his civilization out of the hands of those modern purveyors of streamlined voodoo and chromium-plated theology, the lawyers.\u201d<br \/>\n17. \u201cFor practically every lawyer thinks and talks of The Law as a sort of omnipotent, omniscient presence hovering around like God over the affairs of men. Yet every lawyer purports to be able to understand and interpret a large part of that presence for the benefit of those who are not lawyers \u2013 at a price.\u201d<br \/>\n18. \u201cThe mass of practicing attorneys and little judges are fooling themselves and the public when they claim that The Law as they know and use it is a logical science instead of a pseudo-scientific fraud\u201d.<br \/>\n19. \u201cNo single fact is so essential to the life and lustiness of the legal racket as the sober pretense on the part of practically all its practitioners \u2013 from Supreme Court judges down to police court lawyers \u2013 that The Law is, in the main, an exact science. No pretense was ever more absurd.\u201d<br \/>\n20. \u201cFor the lawyers know it would be woe unto the lawyers if the non-lawyers ever got wise to the fact that their lives were run, not by The Law, not by any rigid and impersonal and automatically-applied code of rules, but instead by a comparatively small group of men, smart, smooth, and smug \u2013 the lawyers.\u201d<br \/>\n21. \u201cThe sober truth is that the myriad principles of which The Law is fashioned resemble nothing so much as old saws, dressed up in legal language and paraded as gospel.\u201d<br \/>\n22. \u201cJust as the devil can always cite Scripture to his purpose, so can any lawyer on either side of any case always cite the law to his.\u201d<br \/>\n23. \u201cLegal language, wherever it happens to be used, is a hodgepodge of outlandish words and phrases because those words and phrases are what the principles of The Law are made of.\u201d<br \/>\n24. \u201cYet why \u2013 if you think it over for a minute \u2013 should people not be privileged to understand completely and precisely any written laws that directly concern them, any business documents they have to sign, any code of rules and restrictions which applies to them and under which they perpetually live? \u201cWhy then should The Law use a language \u2013 language being, remember, no more than a means of communicating ideas \u2013 which those ordinary human beings cannot hope to understand?\u201d<br \/>\n25. \u201cBut how can any lawyer afford to admit that fact, even to himself, when his position in the community, his prestige among his fellow craftsmen, and his own sense of self-respect all hang on the assumption that he does know what he is talking about?\u201d<br \/>\n26. \u201cConsequently, the hope of The Law \u2013 that is, the hope of the lawyers that their game will go on indefinitely, undiminished and undisputed \u2013 lies with the law schools.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLaws grind the poor, and rich men rule the law.\u201d<br \/>\n*****************<br \/>\nIf you changed your Law-maker, that would change your Law, and you would own your Property.<br \/>\nWho do you think would get the pink slip?<br \/>\nNow you know the rest of the story !<\/p>\n<p>Click <a title=\"INFO\" href=\"http:\/\/freeinhabitant.info\/?p=25\">HERE<\/a> to view the list of foundational information created by Lawyer Paul John Hansen to aid in independence from the US System.
