In reply to: Primordial 's message, "Conventional Law vs Natural Law.........." on 02/23/02 9:00pm

from Primordial: Do conventional laws wreak havoc on natural laws? Why? because natural laws do not protect the weak; conventional laws do. Any comments?

>>> ??? ... I'm a bit lost there! ... natural laws don't really protect anyone! ... conventional laws do all the protecting ... I mean! ... what is a natural law? ... night after day or floods killing us or earthquakes or us wanting to kill each other for some reason?

... to say that conventional laws wreak havoc on natural laws suggests that natural laws are automatically good and if a natural law is something like a flood ... then the common law stops us from building in a flood prone area which will probably save our lives .... so therefore the statute law supports the natural law of our survival.


anyway ... try this!

>>> Members of my state government and community groups are talking about CIR, Citizen Initiated Referendums, like a plebiscite I guess. This means that under certain circumstances any private citizen can cause a state-wide referendum on any one topic.

If the question was… Do you support capital punishment? … chances are the uneducated plebs would support it and suddenly we’d be killing people!

While it may be more democratic to give every one their say on such an issue, the masses would screw things up completely because of the emotion involved!….

…. revenge by death is a natural emotion in humans but prison is better for society as a whole….. society stops the natural feeling from being carried out.... but then again society is natural! ... mmmm! .. spooky!!!

So what you could call the natural want for the ultimate revenge is made redundant by conventional (statute) law … it protects society from its worst enemy … itself.
