We were all raised with the notion that the law applied to everyone equally. In fact, the archetype of injustice was the idea that in pre-Revolutionary America and England, the English Lords could do essentially what they wanted to do with impunity. The idea that Lords could do anything they want was so repugnant that the concept of droit du seigner, the right of a Lord of a medieval estate to take the virginity of his serfs’ maiden daughters, became popularized in common literature. Today, leaders like Saddam Hussein and Moammar Gadhafi are viewed as the ultimate bad guys because they did whatever they liked for year without any accountability.

So, when we were kids we all stood up in elementary school and ended the Pledge of Allegiance with the words, “with truth and justice for all.” That’s our heritage.

Unfortunately, that is not the reality we find in America. Instead, we have developed the idea of “too big to jail”… and that means that we have developed the idea that the powerful elite should not be held accountable for their actions for the good of the country, even if they have out and out committed clear crimes. Want a few examples?

• Gerald Ford’s pardon of Richard Nixon for crimes committed in the Watergate scandal.
• Failure to investigate and prosecute the Iran-Contra scandal of the Reagan administration.
• Failure to investigate the torture, illegal wiretapping, and other crimes of the Bush administration.
• Failure to investigate and prosecute the illegal activities of Wall Street that led to the current administration.

They’re At It Again

OK, if you use Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, Linkedin or other social media it’s time to stand up and be counted.

In case you haven’t noticed, there is a concerted effort in the Congress to inhibit Americans from the free expression of their first amendment rights. Here’s the deal. If your ability to communicate with your fellow citizens through the internet is curtailed, then all the information you receive will be  controlled by a few media giants like Rupert Murdoch. And fundamentally that means that a small group of greedy people can keep you uninformed and pacified while they set things up to take everything you have.

Remember, it was through social media like YouTube, Twitter, and Facebook that the spring Islamic revolution was able to take place in Egypt, Tunisia, and, now, Libya.

What’s happening…

The House appears to be poised to introduce a bill that would make sites like YouTube, Twitter, and Facebook legally responsible for the content that people post to their sites. This is like holding AT&T and Sprint legally responsible for the content of conversations that are carried out over their phone lines. It’s nuts!

No site will be willing to take the risk of liability that such a law would impose, and the fat cats would once again squash your ability to communicate and coordinate with your friends and neighbors. So, if this law passes, expect these sites to simply shut down. It a pure power grab to keep you under the thumbs of the masters.

Here’s what you can do…
