The aim of public education is not to spread enlightenment at all; it is simply to reduce as many individuals as possible to the same safe level, to breed and train a standardized citizenry, to down dissent and originality. That is its aim in the United States, whatever the pretensions of politicians, pedagogues, and other such mountebanks, and that is its aim everywhere else.
- H. L. Mencken
When plunder becomes a way of life for a group of men living together in society, they create for themselves in the course of time a legal system that authorizes it and a moral code that glorifies it.

About Law... There are only three Laws. They were called "the three Laws," but when I did a search long ago of "the three Laws," all I got were laws of robotics, laws of thermodynamics, etc. So... I thought, What are they the Laws OF? The answer was clear. They are the Laws of Ethics.
The three Laws of Ethics (Natural Law expressed as the three things not to do):
1. Do not willfully and without fully informed consent hurt or kill the flesh of anOther
2. Do not willfully and without fully informed consent take or damage anything that does not belong to You alone
3. Do not willfully defraud anOther (which can only happen without fully informed consent)
These are the foundation of common law. But they are nowhere to be found in the legal system. The legal system is a usurper of power and is owned/controlled by the psychopaths in control. What the legal system has is legalates, not Laws, but They call the legalates "laws" to get Us to think We are subject to them.
They also claim that "ignorance of the law is no excuse," yet no One knows how many legalates are on the books! So We're supposed to know the content of an unknown number of them! Ignorance of the three Laws of Ethics - THAT is a valid point that there is no excuse.
We do not have to consent to that system at all. I don't. The psychopathic legal/governmental system thwarts Ethics FAR more than serves them, and I stand on Ethical ground, under the three Laws ONLY. MUCH higher ground than the legal sewer!
