Quote of the Day

Every violation of truth is a stab at the health of human society.

Every society is a mirrored reflection of it's laws and the judicial system that administers those laws! If that system is political, corrupt, self-serving, anti-constitutional then equity and justice for citizens becomes about as sure as a game of Russian roulette. Under the U.S. Constitution and Bill Of Rights, A legal system and it's laws should be a safety net for the innocent, a protection for law-abiding citizens, a shelter for the abused and yes a place of retribution in favor of those who have been victimized. When a legal system becomes the abuser, disregarding constitutional rights and further victimizing those victims who are seeking a safe harbor, the reflection of laws in that society begins to turn ugly. That ugliness ripples through society and the fallout will have far reaching consequences.

If you accept the premise that a society is a mirrored reflection of it's laws and the administration of those laws, America is a nation in deep, deep trouble! The crisis reaches into every vital area of society including but not limited to constitutional, political, economic, financial, governmental, justice, social, moral and spiritual.

There are many men and women who have chosen to be a lawyer and devoted their professional lives to equity and justice. These people are not the target of this report. There is a greater number of the lawyer fraternity however, who have different motives and have not been so noble. In fact, as a general culture and class, lawyers are destroying America, turning this nation and American justice into a financial and political self-serving game, grinding out victims by the millions annually.

Client benefit, true equity and justice has been and is being subordinated to the financial and political business opportunity concept by lawyers in America today. Equity and justice is for sale to the highest bidder. Because of lawyer monopoly of the legal services profession, many Americans cannot afford to pay the ransom demanded by the lawyer monopoly to buy a shot at justice.

* 159,000,000 million personal and property crimes were committed against American citizens during a recent 13 year period, with a 26% clearance arrest record. When that 26% was turned over to the judicial system, the percentages go down through plea bargains, back room political deals and God only knows what else. A sad commentary for the American criminal  justice system. Direct and indirect cost of crime in America is now costing taxpayers a staggering $675 billion dollars annually. America leads the world in prison population. * America has the highest tort tax in the world that now exceeds $1200.00 for every man, woman and child. We cannot be competitive in the international market place. Who pays that tort tax, none other than the American consumer.

* We are the most litigious society on earth with over 95 million lawsuits filed annually at a cost exceeding $300 billion dollars effecting the gross national product.

* Over 70% of low to middle income Americans can no longer afford the cost of justice in America.

* We have two standards of justice, the "Model T" brand and the "Cadillac brand". Those who have money get the Cadillac brand and those who don't have money go to prison or bankruptcy court.

* Over 30 billion annually is extracted from the medical and insurance fields by lawyers looking to extort a settlement from the deep pockets in those professions.  This drives us consumer prices for health care.

* We have laws and rules stacked end to end which would fill up the super dome in New Orleans. Yet we have a legal mentality that looks at a given dispute and says "If we can't find any law that has been broken we may have to pass a new one".

* We have a judicial system where politics, fraud, conspiracy, deception, perjury, dishonesty and obstruction of justice is the order of the day by the dominant lawyer culture who operate the system. This translates into a giant mirror for society that if it happens in the judicial system, you can get away with it in society. Is the judicial system teaching immorality on the face? Nobody is responsible, nobody is guilty, nobody is wrong, there is no real consequence for wrong doing as long as lawyers can profit from the issue.

         POLITICS THE GOD OF THE NATION?

The United States has become the most political nation on earth with an invasion of politics in almost every aspect of our lives.  Much of this political environment has become vitriolic if not downright vicious. The national machinery has become like a giant wheel often slowing to the lowest turn as politics enter in.  We have great teachers in the professional politicians, particularly in the Federal government agencies beginning with the highest body of lawmaking in the Federal Congress.  When presidential candidates for the most powerful office in the world create hate groups as in the 2004 election to try and capture the White House it becomes a national disgrace.   The targeting of a war-time incumbent president with a comparison to Hitler goes far beyond the pale.  Freedom of speech and disagreement yes-playing politics with our troops in harms way no!  This shameful state of politics has now entered into the selection of U.S. Supreme Court justices. It is obvious in the Senate Judiciary committee hearings the interrogators place more emphasis on political decisions of the Supreme Court candidate than the legal qualifications of the candidate.   The interests of American citizens has now become secondary to the political interests.
