Chemtrails: Unthinkable, right?

If the government was spraying aerosols into the atmosphere, what possible purpose could there be for such behavior? One can dream up a litany of possible motivations, but not one of them have anything to do with our good. I don't know if the government really is spraying aerosols into the atmosphere. But one thing I do know, it's not unthinkable and it's not "past them."

You think the government seeding the atmosphere with poisons or deliberately sabotaging the planet with greenhouse particles is unthinkable? Think again. When you think of people as cattle and yourself as the rancher, the inevitable result is Mengelean pseudo-science and social engineering experiments. Nothing but nothing is past the sickos ensconced in the Pentagon, CIA, NSA, FBI, and the rest of the asylum for those with delusions of grandeur known as "Washington, DC."

And, of course, the government is always "immune" from the consequences of its own actions: "The Nevin family appealed the suit all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court, which declined to overturn lower court judgments upholding the government’s immunity from lawsuits." I have no idea whether they're presently spraying us or not, but one thing's for sure: I don't put it past them.

The Constitution has gone to the dogs

Actually, it should have gone to the dogs, but didn't. I'm talking about  Leona Helmsley's estate , of course. The contract clause of the Constitution says, "No State shall ... pass any ... Law impairing the Obligation of Contracts..." This means that private contracts cannot be changed by legislative edict. This clause is incredibly important because the willingness of private individuals to engage in profitable enterprise - which is the foundation of social welfare - crucially depends on their belief that they can realize a profit. In turn, their belief that they can realize a profit depends on their belief that they can hold parties to a contract liable to the terms in the contract. For example, lenders must have confidence that they can repossess the collateral for a loan if the loan is defaulted on. Otherwise, they will not take the risk of giving the loan in the first place. When lenders are too scared to lend, everyone is worse off. In the case of Leona Hel...

What Law Is

Law What is law? Frederic Bastiat, in his treatise The Law, defines law as the collective use of force. As much as I love Bastiat’s treatise, I think his definition is not sufficiently analytical. It is certainly the case that the law plays a role in the collective use of force but the law is something more basic than this. We can begin by looking at law as it is today. The website for the Oregon courts has an excellent summary [1] of modern law and courts. I will quote it at length: Throughout history, people have had disputes and have needed some means to settle their disputes. As civil societies develop, they need an orderly system of conflict resolution. One system that developed in "western" cultures is the "law court" or court of law. In England, those early law courts developed a "body of law" called the common law, which defined both the rights of the people and the government and the duties people owe each other and their government.
