Bricks & Mortor

I am a law abiding citizen. I believe in obeying the law. To illustrate, the 2nd Ammendment specifies the right of citizens to own guns. The Constitution specifies a way to change this if the people so desire. If an ammendment was promposed to rescind the 2nd Ammendment, I would vote against it, but if it passed, I would obey it even thought it's not what I would want. (This post is not about gun ownership. This was given sloley as an example.) Laws are the bricks of our society. They encapsulate our values and organization. The commitment of the paople in our society to obey the law is the mortor that holds the bricks together. When that commitment is lost among the people, the mortor detiorates and crumbles. Though the building still stands, it's strength is an illusion. It is severely weakened and will tumble when it is faced with the quake of a challenge. When an individual, or group of individuals, decide to circumvent the legal processes specified and use whatever other means they have to get what they want.., no matter how sincere or right they may think they are, they become a threat to our society! Everyone believes they are right. For one to conclude that they know better what is good for our country than others and therefore they are justified to bypass the processes specified is an act of extreme arrogance and disrespect to their fellow citizens. They demonstrate their disbelief in and become an enemy of the democratic process. They expose their prejudice and closed mindedness. They attack the glue which binds our society together. Their vision of a glorious possibility is a myopic self deception. If the people as a whole thought such as they, anarchy would rule supreme until such time that an order could be established and adhered to!
