This Constitution, and the Laws of the United States which shall be made in Pursuance thereof; and all Treaties made, or which shall be made, under the Authority of the United States, shall be the supreme Law of the Land; and the Judges in every State shall be bound thereby, any Thing in the Constitution or Laws of any State to the Contrary notwithstanding.

--US. Const. Art. VI

Let's just understand one simple thing: NO ONE has the lawful authority to pass any law, rule or regulation that contravenes or contradicts the Constitution of the United States.
The Constitution is THE SUPREME LAW and over-rules or supercedes any other law.
Period.

The NDAA does NOT nullify the Bill of Rights.
Quite the contrary, the Constitution renders the NDAA null and void from its inception.
Likewise the "Patriot Act" and a host of other disgraceful pieces of "legislation."
Congress doesn't have the authority to over-rules the Constitution.
These acts may have the color of law, but they are not, in fact, legally binding on anyone.

There is a difference between having the lawful authority to do something, and simply having the power to do something by force.

A mugger has the power by the threat of force to make you give up your wallet. That doesn't mean he has the lawful authority to take it.

A rapist may exert power over you by the threat of force and make you surrender your body. That doesn't give him the lawful authority to do it.

A murderer may have the power to kill you, but that doesn't give him the lawful authority to do so.


You have the natural and legal right to protect yourself, to resist unlawful actions even if you have to use lethal force to do it.
The law doesn't require you to meekly render your money, your body or your life to any thug who demands it.

Why should you"non-violently" (that is to say "passively") cooperate with any criminal who assaults you when you have the means to resist?

It's a simple equation:
Cooperate with a mugger, and you get mugged.
Cooperate with a rapist and you get raped.
Cooperate with a murderer and you get murdered.
Cooperate with an oppressor.....

Do the math.

A Myth is as Good as a Mile

To say that I own a lot of books is like saying there’s a lot of sand in the Sahara.

Most of my furniture is books. The good furniture, anyway.

On my shelves reside old friends: Captain Blood, Scaramouche, Ivanhoe, Crazy Horse – books I first read as a child. Other, for me, keystone works such as The Anatomy of Human Destructiveness (Eric Fromm), Without Conscience (Robert Hare) and Lame Deer: A Seeker of Visions (Doug Boyd).

Every once in a long,while, I come across a book that I find so compelling that I all but literally can’t put it down, and afterward feel a moral imperative to share it with others.

The Vegetarian Myth, by Lierre Keith, is such a book.

For anyone interested in social justice, the environment or their own health, Ms. Keith’s book is a must-read. As a one-time vegetarian, myself, I found her reflections particularly poignant.

This is an informationally dense book, extensively referenced, and the case against vegetarianism that Ms. Keith presents is as rational and logical a presentation as you will find on any subject. Not only does she refute the false moral, political and nutritional premises that are the well-meaning foundation of vegetarianism, but she does so with tremendous compassion. She understands tem from her own experience, from her own heart.

She also connects some very disturbing dots. Why, for example, are the same handful of corporations who are the biggest war profiteers, also the corporations profiteering from manipulation of your food supply?

But more, Ms. Keith’s voice is both unique and eloquent. Her gallows-humor asides are filled with heart-rending irony. And she pulls no punches just to be “polite.” She is honest and direct, saying what she means and meaning just what she says – something as rare as hens teeth.

If you eat, or love anyone who eats, or if you live on this earth or love anyone who does, you owe it to yourself to read The Vegetarian Myth.

The "Good Guys" Don't Torture Anyone

Not anyone.
And they don't kidnap people, "detain" them indefinitely without charges or trial.
And they don't.....
The list is too long.
No point anymore in pretending that we're the "good guys."
