the fundamental fact, is men (and women) know the Truth, and they deny it, and God leaves them to their delusion, sexual immorality is by no means the only variety, and those of binary even less so, but we see the insanity in richard levine and samuel brinton, who are not only bereft of common sense but ethics
‘thou shalt not steal’ among other things, of course if the world treats Christianity and Orthodox Judaism as an absurdity, well something else fills the vacuum, certainly in Christian countries, in Western Europe, the strong faith of Islam is filling the pews, because the Church of England is hollow,

From the time the well-organized and well funded effort to “change the law” to today has been, I believe, just sixty years. I have not read the books being discussed here, but I am quite certain that San Francisco was the center of this legal movement. Most likely funded in large part by Hollywood.

I mentioned here before that sometime between 1971-74 an entire group of applicants sitting for the law degree in Northern California failed the ethics segment of that exam. My memory on this is faulty because I was not involved with the law, but where there is some smoke there is . . .

When I go back in my mind and try to find more information, what I remember the most is that there was a name to that group. I can’t remember the name for certain, but the name “Hastings” keeps coming back. Could it have been that the group that failed were graduates of the Hastings School of Law ?-I am sorry I cannot remember the details better. It was just mentioned at lunch one day with some acquaintances in San Francisco.

You would find it very interesting to search for “Hastings Law School” at wikipedia.

He did have time to question my faith

GC™ – you have no “faith” to question – since you are the perfect example of what a Christian Hypocrite is…

Evolution by natural selection is NOT “survival of the fittest”. That implies an active role for “Nature” to achieve a goal, such as bigger teeth, longer claws, bigger antlers, etc.
Evolution is really passive, and the species that survive are radomly by happenstance those who are best ADAPTED to a changing or changed environment.

Now, humanity (as ultra social animals) has also introduced societies and norms and culture into the mix. Evolution of cultural practices throws a wrench into the evolution cogs, since culture is quite subjective and variable as to what seems to be good for survial. Plus culture can be maintained or changed on a very rapid time scale, compared to the normal path of genetic impacts, etc.

I was going to say something about the concept of genetically based group evolution, but right now I will not go down that distractive path.

Didndunuffin doesn’t stop if you are not African American. The law is unjust, the police are corrupt, … anarchy is better ….. Authority is the problem?

Okay, you’ve moved elsewhere, a bunch of people have come with you, and all of them are waiting to hear you explain what your alternative to the rule of law is…

I am a humble hermit so that question can’t be answered.

Have already had my say at October 26, 2024 at 1:07 pm. Thanks for the civil questions, but I am about done in this thread…

Please explain how that comment applies to the Critical Legal Studies topic.

That ‘Just in an Anarchist+Devil’s Advocate mood on the “Critical Legal Studies” topic…‘ was in reference to October 25, 2024 at 6:45 pm comment:

@Geoffrey Britain – humans are natural born killers. Ask Genghis Khan if you don’t believe humble me.

As to – ‘humans are natural born killers‘ – it is the Rule of Law and Big Govt proponents that/who override Mother Nature and call such killers – “Murderers.”

That Devil’s Advocate part of the Anarchist+Devil’s Advocate was in reference to natural born killers being turned into Murderers by Rule of Law and Big Govt proponents. I don’t believe that people should just kill anyone they want to—but, I could be wrong since Mother Nature seems otherwise.

That comment was in the “Critical Legal Studies” thread. Yes, I know it all could’ve been phrased better, but that is how I phrased it at that time…my fault.
