The real problem is the fact that we have things like the "executive order". The executive order did not exist pre-civil war, which was not about ending slavery, but about ensuring the presence of a central banking authority.

Our United States is not the same as the one in the original Constitution, composed of voluntary States, but is founded upon General Orders 100 (a.k.a The Lieber Code), and most especially upon General Orders 100 Article 2:

"Martial Law does not cease during the hostile occupation, except by special proclamation, ordered by the commander in chief; or by special mention in the treaty of peace concluding the war, when the occupation of a place or territory continues beyond the conclusion of peace as one of the conditions of the same. "

There has never been a "special proclamation, ordered by the commander in chief" or a "treaty of peace concluding the war", and all laws since then have been based upon this form of "martial law", and not the Constitution we have been taught about.

I don't think we should throw her in jail/prison. That won't help much. I think we should put her through a two-week professional driver's course.

EDUCATION IS THE ANSWER - make it more difficult to get a driver's license by requiring serious driver's training, including proper etiquette.

We should also require by law that all new vehicles LOUDLY inform the user via auditory and visual mechanisms whenever they break the speed limit.

Gold is merely a nice looking metal with few practical uses, but it is a finite metal that is based in reality, not in accounting or paper or some human made system, but in the very essence of our existence. It is rare and unique enough to make it of general interest, yet bountiful enough to use as currency.

The problem with gold, everyone says, is that it is just not easy enough to spend. You actually have to meet someone person to person, weigh out using a mutually trusted scale, and then pass over the goods. I personally consider this required face to face exchange to be a very significant feature in the currency, as I think it would be especially healthy for our society to be based on real things in general, not on ancient paperwork, convenience and legalese.

I have no doubt his human rights were being trampled with sub par food, health treatment, and safety. I'm glad when anyone manages to escape the US incarceration system, aka "hell on earth". Hopefully he wasn't raped since it was a low security prison. If caught again, I'm guessing they'll put him in a higher security prison with a higher chance of him being raped/murdered and even less access to basic mammalian needs.

Rehabiliation my ass - our prisons serve only to dehabilitate.

Do I actually need to state that institutions are made up of individuals? Institutions are not run by the teachers - the people who run the institution must care so that when choosing a teacher to fill a position they carefully select teachers who actually care. It is indeed the leaders of the institute who have the power to hire these uncaring professors.
