Gesetzlosigkeit

author: www-data

(I hab übrigens schon wieder Slashdot-Modpoints :-) Ich bin über diesen Beitrag gestoßen. Sehr geiler Gedankengang darüber, warum man im Wesentlichen sagen kann, dass wir in einer "Gesetzlosen" Gesellschaft leben. Und warum so ziemlich überall auf der Welt Anwälte zu einer gehassten Spezies geworden sind:

You see, the whole idea of "law" was supposed to be for a code to bind a society together by making every member capable of some action affecting others to follow a simple set of clear rules, which, again by definition, were to be simple enough to be memorized in entirety by everyone. [...]

The moment however when the "law" becomes so complicated and ambiguous that it requires someone to "interpret it" (i.e. twist it to whatever whim of the moment is fanciful) the whole concept breaks. In short a society which needs lawyers, is by definition lawless, as "law" has morphed from the universal code of conduct to a byzantine, convoluted, religious scripture which requires a career priesthood to worship, massage, "interpret" and twist to the needs of whatever power caste is running the place at the time.

[An] average person's intrinsic moral compass is able to detect that something is profoundly wrong with the very idea of a lawyer.

...ich kann gar nicht genug betonen, wie sehr mir der Mensch aus der Seele spricht :-)
