“The More Laws, the Less Justice”

The following debate originally took place upon my Facebook wall, after I posted artwork being shared by the page, “Campaign For a Longer Leash“…

Rayn:

"Why would any one be a better choice to rule over you than you? Seriously, I don't understand."

“Why would anyone be a better choice to rule over you than you? Seriously, I don’t understand.”

Murilo M.: Well, what I think is that democracy is not about choosing people to rule you around, it is about choosing people to put in action plans to solve the problems of the country and to use wisely the wealth of the country to promote the welfare of the citizens. However many of the politicians are not interested in helping their country, they are only interested in enjoying an extravagant salary and the power and respect that comes with being a politician.

Rayn: Well, regardless of what you think, in both practice and reality, democracy represents a system of tyranny wherein the majority use the State’s legal monopoly on violence to enforce their will over minority groups without their consent. And, since the State really only has legal jurisdiction over criminals, it continuously creates laws, in an effort to turn us all into criminal, and then, selectively enforces these rules.

Our day to day lives illustrate this fact, but here’s a little proof…

In America, All Police Officers Enforce Victimless Crimes, Making Them Guilty of Initiating Aggression Against Peaceful Individuals

The following debate originally took place upon my Facebook wall, after I posted artwork being shared by the page, “Vacate the Military”…

Rayn: 

"This tree did more for freedom than all of the troops combined"

“This tree did more for freedom than all of the troops combined”

Murilo M.: Maybe the drivers were honest peace officers who had never committed any abuse. Not all peace officers are abusive and corrupt. I think sometimes people are too hard on the police.

Rayn: Impossible. We don’t have “peace officers” in America. We have “law enforcement officers.” There’s a BIG difference!

Peace Officer Versus Police Officer

Peace Officer Versus Police Officer

Murilo M.: Well, here in Brazil the police is also one of the worst institutions we have, but not all peace officers are bad, some are just trying to do their job well and earn their living to feed their families.

Rayn: There is no such thing as an “honest” law enforcement officer in America. That’s a contradiction in terms. Law enforcement officers are paid mercenaries who follow the orders of their political overlords, collect revenue for the State, and enforce arbitrary edicts upon your fellow INNOCENT and the PEACEFUL human beings, including through use of brutality, abduction and imprisonment!

Understand REALITY: No Victim, No Crime! And, so long as police enforce VICTIMLESS NON-CRIMES such as “possession of cannabis,” “jaywalking,” “broken tail light,” and a host of other oppressive and abusive laws, they are INITIATING AGGRESSION UPON, and hence, VIOLATING THE RIGHTS OF, INNOCENT PEOPLE. It is LITERALLY THEIR JOB TO DO SO!

I think that society has been too easy on the police for far too long. Indeed, the average American is a full-blown, BOOT-LICKING COP-SUCKER. Yet, police have continued to abuse the public, while being almost completely shielded from prosecution by the States that employ these career criminals! (Click Here to Continue Reading This Post) →

Rayn: Glad to hear it. Of course, I hope you realize that I didn’t think he had, and neither did the author of this news article. I didn’t think he’d even need to, as I’m fully aware that Sanders and his wife do very well for themselves… I’ve even posted about their financial status on my FB wall, previously…

Debunking Falsehoods About the Homeless

The following debate originally took place on my Facebook wall, upon my post, “Another Perfect Example of the State Using Public Tax Dollars to ‘Take Care’ of the Homeless“…

Rayn: Is this that “compassion for the poor” y’all imagined your tax dollars pay for? Suckers!

It’s just like those helpful “vagrancy” laws, used by the State to harass, fine and imprison the homeless.

"Without goverment, who will build the spikes where homeless people sleep?"

“Without government, who will build the spikes where homeless people sleep?”

Jonas A.: 😡

Lutz S.: Nastural selection. If you end up homeless, you 90% are either a drunk, junkie, or mentally disordered.

Lutz S.: Those genes need to go tf away

Rayn: Unsubstantiated, accusatory, and patently false…

“Nearly one-quarter of all homeless people (23 percent or 138,149) were homeless children under the age of 18, and 30 percent of sheltered homeless people were children.”

The 2013 Annual Homeless Assessment Report (AHAR) to Congress:
https://www.hudexchange.info/resources/documents/ahar-2013-part1.pdf

For three and a half years, my family and I were homeless, living in the NYC shelter system nightmare. I was twelve when we entered, and fifteen when we finally escaped.

Jesus G.: without government who will be able to read/watch Superman cartoons! Spider-man anyone? 😮

Adding Some Clarity to the Misleading Claim that “All Food is Genetically Modified”

The following debate originally took place here, upon the Facebook page, “FEE“…

(replies from all third parties have been omitted for clarity)

2016-08-04-adding-some-clarity-to-the-misleading-claim-that-all-food-is-genetically-modified

FEE: All Food Is Genetically Modified. Now We’re Just Better at It.
https://fee.org/articles/all-food-is-genetically-modified-now-were-just-doing-it-better/

Rayn: LOL! Sure! We’ve been splicing plant genes with that of bacteria and insects since the dawn of humanity! *facepalm*

Scott S.: Nature has been. It’s called horizontal gene transfer- take a biology course.

Rayn: LOL. Thanks for the condescending “advice,” but I majored in biology at Stonybrook University. Before that, I went to Clara Barton High School for Health Professions, where I scored a 92 on the Biology Regents Test – the highest in my entire school.

Horizontal gene transfer is a nature-guided process of evolutionary adaptation, most common to *single-celled organisms*. It typically involves the transfer of only a tiny fractions of genetic material at a time while single-celled organisms interact with their environment. This process isn’t even REMOTELY similar to *human-directed* gene-splicing of *large sections* of *highly complex organisms,* such as plants, with the DNA of other *highly complex organisms,* such as insects, nor even with single-celled soil bacteria.

Jamie M.: They used chemicals and radiation instead.
