Greetings Sharree,
John Wilson copied his reply to you - on to
me.
Juries are one way not the only way.
John is keen on the jury approach and doing a lot of damage
demanding that it is the only way. Reality is that the more
people that are doing something, then bigger the numbers of people will
become informed.
Juries could do the job but for two major problems.
1. the courts deny the right to trial by jury on
most matters. 2. the people are so dumbed down that most
have no ability to serve as a juror, most don't know right from wrong. These
problems are as difficult to overcome as changing the whole system of
government. Why repair a worn-out tyre when it should be replaced with
a new one?
The problem, if a country has one and most do, is found in
the rules that limit government, the Constitution. Either it
is an effective constitution or it is defective. Most sound
great but in reality are an open door to power hungry politicians doing the
bidding of the money power.
A good Constitution sets proper, reasonable and
enforceable limits on government and a means whereby the people can, readily
and without personal expense enforce the rules.
If you are not getting justice then look to your
Constitution for its inadequacy.
Australia is in just as big a mess as anywhere, all a
result of the money power as it everywhere else.
Recently we declared an Australian Declaration of Right
2001, attached for your information. We are working on a Draft Fresh
Constitution which is all but complete. Only available by in hard copy
by post Kit $20A postal order. The big problem is getting the
population to know what we are doing that alone understand it.
We have step by step plans to overcome this problem, not
for publication.
Unfortunately our biggest enemy is people like John Wilson
who constantly tell people that so-in-so is the ONLY way, this attitude is
epidemic in the 'freedom' movement in Australia.
Every thing you do will have an effect, in the end it will
be an informed public that will bring the changes needed.
But people rely on leadership and ideas so if you have some ideas go
for it, but heed the above before deciding which way will have the greatest
effect.
Through history the people have never done anything, it
has always been the few, when the time is right (informed people) the few
get a result with the weight of the people.
I know you have a bill of rights, so did soviet
Russia. There is only one way to guarantee people liberty and justice
and that is by placing clear limits on government. A bill of rights
limits the people. Limited Government and the means whereby the people
can readily enforce the limits without personal costs is, to use Johns words
the ONLY way. But there is much informing of the general public to be
done in the mean time, information about the power of juries and a host of
other issues.
I often quote from your Declaration of
Independence,-------- to which I would take the liberty of
adding three word, highlighted in blue:----------
"We
hold these truths to be self-evident,
that all men are
created equal under the law, that they are
endowed by their creator with certain inalienable rights, that among these
are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. That to secure these rights,
governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the
consent of the governed, that whenever any form of government becomes
destructive of these ends, it is the
right of the people to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new
government.
Regards Joe Bryant.
