Bill 2 Passes……What Have We Done?
We take great pride in being a democracy. It has been a long road in the history of man to come to the system we have today.
Our modern system really started in Britain with the Magna Carta. This was an extremely important event in that it set out the principle that men would be ruled by “the rule of law”, and not by the whims of a King. Prior to the Magna Carta the King could take away, or bestow, life, liberty, and property however he saw fit!
The basic principle of the Magna Carta was no man would be deprived of his life, his liberty, or his property without due process of law. This is the foundation of the “rule of law”. Due process of law is composed of a notice, a hearing, and a judgement by one’s peers. Without due process we are not ruled by the “rule of law”!
Democracy without the “rule of law”, is little better than the rule by a single tyrant……in fact it is rule by a tyrant of the majority or mob rule! The best analogy of a majority without the “rule of law” would be two wolves and a sheep voting on what is for dinner!
Bill 2, the Responsible Energy Development Act, takes away our access to the “rule of law”. No longer do we have the right to challenge decisions made by our “majority tyrants” through the due process of law……it’s written right into this bill…….we have no access to the courts!
This very “irresponsible” bill is being touted by the wolves as being good for us, the sheep! Minister Ken Hughes should be ashamed of what he is doing, Alison Redford should be ashamed of what she is doing…….both should know better! They both know they are taking away the fundamental rights that our forebears for generations fought and died for!
The general population accepts this utter violation of the “rule of law”, little realizing that a great principle has been breached and that eventually they too will be affected. Today the tyrant takes away my rights…..tomorrow it will be your turn!
I do not know why people don’t understand? Perhaps it is because the population has become “dumbed down”? Perhaps it is because the education system has failed to teach, or perverted, the principles our system is based on? Perhaps we have become so degenerated that we desire to go back into slavery to a tyrant? Maybe people don’t desire to be free?
Bill 2, and the authors of Bill 2, wrote this legislation out of greed. They wanted to have free access to others property without paying a fair price for it. It is my belief they have made a grave error in judgement, through their blind avarice, never realizing that they have set a precedent where their own property and rights can be eliminated!
Is this where we want to be? A society where the so called "Representatives of the majority" can be bought by the highest bidder? Where the money slipped under the table buys you the right to take other peoples property? How long will it take until people say NO!
Will that day come?
It has happened before…..and it will happen again. Man’s long history has shown again and again, that sooner or later the people will get tired of being treated like sheep! Eventually they rise up and slay the tyrant! It is usually bloody and incredibly destructive!
That is the road we have started down.
