How law works and why it does not.

Well look at Nazi Germany where the leaders were the law, and the law the law the law had to be obeyed down to the last letter... Who stood up against the law??? It was the Catholics who as a group are most responsible for the rule of law that cast the deciding vote for the enabling act that made the will of hitler law.

Law is the destruction of commuities

We have more people per capita in the system than ever before in history.

I think the ratio of people per capita has remained remarkably steady at 1:1.

Hmmm...If I remember right, there were those who did stand up against the law...called ‘The Allies’, and most of the Allies were Catholic. You are also looking at a law system that was ultimately short lived and self defeating. Does it not say something that you that you chose a law system reviled by most other law systems, and one that failed, as your example? And this you are using to justify your position of how ALL law systems don’t work?

Does it not say something that you tried to avoid looking at “places with large populations were law and order has broken down, or barely functions”

In the current democratic system - Laws functioned quite well with community spirit for many centuries, so this is incorrect, even though the present system is breaking down communities...but that is not about laws per se (although they are used), but about a corrupted system of government joined with a people willing to be bought.

Not really short lived... Hitler was simply the end rather than the begining of anything... All the roads of the former reiches, and the family, arts and religion all pointed toward him, and even, god forbid, their science and philosophy... He was not unnatural, and what he called for was to them, no unusual... He touched a common chord with them...

I had them in my own family as well, men who would brutalize their own children and thinking all the while they were doing them good... I have heard my own grandmother disregard every moral argument and say the will of the government was law... It is a wonderful thing that Hitler slaughtered so many of his own best...

So in your narrow minded view Germans invented the empire concept, is it ?
How about the Romans ? or the "Frenchy" with Napoleon ? and so on and on for Christ sake...

(My heritage is also partially German Kreiseler and Stokler by the way...)

Fido, I am sorry that you come from a twisted genetic line like this, however, brutalizing their own children and thinking how wonderful Hitler was, seems to be strictly part of your own family tree. Please do not think that what is happening in your own family history is also happening in Germany. Your genetic predisposition is as sick as you are, I am afraid to say!
