Common Law

A great percentage of the free world like that of the Americas come from England. England instituted what is known as "Common Law". This is the basics of all law, the fundamentals of law if you will. Which means that there are laws with a broad range of meanings and open defined. We have been told taught, told and we know that murder is illegal and punishable by law. That is a broad definition of law; Man-slaughter, first degree murder, involuntary homicide are far more narrow meanings of murder, each one with its own level of punishment. And so it is for many other crimes, rules, regulations, policies and ordinances. Without these laws we would live in a world of chaos and turmoil. Where there would be no leadership, democracy or order. People would live much like they do in many other countries around the world; we see war, death, famine, and chaos at an paramount level beyond our beliefs. There was a time in Americas history the we too had not found out way to true civility and humanity. In the past century our police turned fire hoses on the African-American civil rights protesters. We see this in the middle east today; disrespect and disregard for one another at every level. The repressed have not respect for authority as most free world citizens do. The Governments have not regard for their citizens in every aspect; their health care, welfare, jobs and education. We were at one point headed in that direction. We still to this today deny some of our citizens the rights that every other American has; right to quality affordable health care, right marry under the law, the right to adopt and practice our visceral instincts to parenthood. Yet we look across the world at those people and we think; "are they crazy?" "what an awful government!" "such terrible leadership." Yet we deny that we are under serious repression of our own kind. Common laws are for everybody; thou shall not kill, thou shall not steal. We the people! Commons laws are universal so I thought, they apply to everyone. Yet the common law of marriage does not apply to same-sex couples. I love and hate no different than you do, I put on my pants the same way you do one leg at a time. Yet I am denied the basic common law of marriage that everyone else has. I was always under the impression that the constitution was for all Americans. We talk about helping other countries institute their own constitution; giving women the same rights men have, legalize homosexuality (which is illegal in Muslim repressed regions). It is practically illegal here in the free world of the Americas has well. In many states  it is illegal for same sex couples to even have sex, it is considered perversion. It is not legal for me to spend time with my dying partner in the hospital and if he dies his family can take our home from me. Bar me from the services and leave me out in the cold. Where are my common laws? Where is the constitution for folks like me? Who is repressing me and holding me back from the basic commons laws our constitution was built on. The law is the law is applies to us all. Give me my civil and constitutional rights under the law. I appease the reader to hear my people cry. I remember that not very long ago black Americans were in a civil right campaign of their own, yet only seventeen percent of them support "GAY CIVIL RIGHTS" in America. Shame on you African America who do not support the current repressed populous. It all boils down to basic common law.

The Living Earth

Ever wonder if the Earth is nothing less than she appears; a living organism in the vast universe and what role we play in that system? Have become a virus uncontrolled in populous? Are we making her sick with our pollutants of her water and air? Changing her landscape to something complete unrecognizable to any native creature. Would the early Native Americans and European explorers recognize the Americas of today? Do you think that those men and women who headed west in the early 1700s would recognize Aspen, or Portland, or the great city of Angels? We (modern Humans) have altered the face of Mother Earth beyond recognition of the past 35,000 years. We have consumed her resources far beyond what we could imagined a 100 years ago. Yes, you can hear about this topics on various NatGeo Network and read it in the Huffington Post the changes we are creating and the irreversible damage we are causing the Planet Earth. Soon she will get rid of us like the dinosaurs. Nature has a way of cleansing herself of any infection like us. Because I do not believe that humans are a good source in the evolution of Earth. We have evolved over the past 3,000 years from Cro Magnum to Homo Sapient Sapient; the Wise wise man. Amazing not really. Some scientist believe that we can reached out tether of evolution, some believe we have not even touched the tip of what we still can become. That our evolutionary journey is ongoing at a revolutionary rate. We are evolving far quicker than ever expected a 100 years ago. As we touched the twenty-first century we have raced into a world of vast knowledge and technology yet out visceral instincts have left many in a disparaging spiritual limbo. Are we still spiritual creatures? Are we in dire need of a lord and savior, still? Or is that just old fashioned brain-washing working on the minds of the uneducated and vulnerable dredges of society who hang on to a belief system of a world long gone but not dead? I find it pathetic that in our society of greatest technology man has ever known there are people who still believe that if you are a good Christian you will go to heaven. Was pathetic too strong a adjective for the simple minded souls that desperately hang on to a belief system has been and continually dismantled by the scientific and educated communities. Let us look forward to our evolution and leave the past behind as a learning tool like we always have. Stonehenge lays in mystery and so will the holy lands soon enough. One day us humans will live in peace knowing that the story of Christ is just that, a story. Put away with all mythology like that of Hercules and Zeus. We, you and I will be free of religious oppression soon enough. Hopefully within our lifetime if not that of our children. We have embraced technology, we just need to let go of old ideologies and silly religious superstitions.  

Law Students and Professors

Just this semester I met the first of many professor to come in the next few years. She was simple even plain looking woman, petite one might say with a big voice. She is very confident and even intimidating to those who may idolize her. She is former lobbyist for the Colorado House of Representatives. Her husband is also an attorney of a different breed. She opened class by stating that she does not appreciate cellphone use in class and that we should turn them off in her class, she continued to explain that she does not take kindly to excuses either. To follow the syllabus and when an assignment is due it is due or you get a zero if you turn it in late. How kind of her to she such concern for a first year law students.  Low and behold I get a serious case pneumonia the second week of class. When I handed her my doctors excuse and assignment due that class she replied, "I don't need that, I don't take excuses. I'll count you as here."
I replied, "but I am not staying and I won't be here next class." Her response was quick and to the cut, "then we'll just see you next week, read the syllabus and do your homework." "Yoy Vey!" 
Well, long story short I dropped the class during midterm. I felt defeated and like a failure. I come home after meeting with my adviser and went to bed at 2p.m. Laid there for for several hours feeling sorry for myself, feeling like I did something wrong. I get two zeros and a 62 on my midterm, there was no way I could pass this class. Why see it to the end, get an "F" and still have to pay for the class? My friend Tiffany dropped the same class the same day just an hour after I did. My friends told me it was the best thing to do. So why do I still feel like a failure? I would really like to say she's bitch but I got sick and I got behind. So I turned in the wrong brief. She gave us two. I thought I had a choice. Assumptions we know how they go. This has got be the most boring of all Spring breaks ever for a Floridian.
