"The Dilemma of democracy" E-mail from peter webster.

The only freedom which counts is the freedom to do what some other people think to be wrong. There is no point in demanding freedom to do that which all will applaud. All the so-called liberties or rights are things which have to be asserted against others who claim that if such things are to be allowed their own rights are infringed or their own liberties threatened.

This is always true, even when we speak of the freedom to worship, of the right of free speech or association, or of public assembly. If we are to allow freedoms at all there will constantly be complaints that either the liberty itself or the way in which it is exercised is being abused, and, if it is a genuine freedom, these complaints will often be justified. There is no way of having a free society in which there is not abuse. Abuse is the very hallmark of liberty.

The task facing a legitimate politics of ecology is twofold. Firstly, it must engender in each of us a sense of personal responsibility for the fate of the planet - an awareness that our personal choices, no matter how apparently trivial, when aggregated together are what determine that fate. The second task is that of developing and articulating a political vision that will shape the individual choices of millions upon millions of individuals so that the sum of all their individual choices is the voluntary choice of an ecologically sustainable world. It is the task of the politics of ecology to affirm positively the mutual interdependence of the ecology and the economy, of people and nature."

John Adams
former U.S. president, founding father.

"You have rights antecedent to all earthly governments; rights that cannot be repealed or restrained by human laws; rights derived from the Great Legislator of the Universe."

16 Am Jur 2d 177

"The general rule is that an unconstitutional statute, though having the form and name of law, is in reality no law, but is wholly void...its unconstitutionality dates from the time of its enactment...No one is bound to obey an unconstitutional law and no courts are bound to enforce it."

Maureen Johnson Long
