[Vision2020] Spanish Court Considering Arrest Warrants for

[Donovan Arnold]

Dave,
 
International Law is pointless because it is not established by the international community. I never voted for an international law, agreed to follow them, nor has the majority of people. 
 
Laws are not any good at all if they are not established by the people in which they are to govern. People have the right to self governance. The government only has the rights given to it by the people, no more. 
 
Power and authority runs from the people to the government, not the government to the people. 
 
Best Regards,
 
Donovan

Of course we CAN, we are the big bad ass empire, we can get away with
anything (and often do), the question is SHOULD we.  And what can we do
to establish an actual rule of law?

Donovan, what good is a "law" if no one follows it?  If I felt it were necessary to bulldoze your house to "protect" my interests, what would stop me?

Windows, OSX, or Linux is the same choice as:
McDonalds, Burger King, or a (real) Co-Op.
