Aren't we supposed to rule the government? Not the government rules us? So essentially we have the power? Anyway, the guy seems a bit wierd but here in this country he can believe what he wants. If he get away with it then all the best. If he doesn't then he's in for a ride.

I was bored and said hello to this guy while in a Deny's. I ended up having coffee with him and he talked to me about law. He said he wasn't a lawyer but he loved reading about it and interpreting what it means. Why laws come to pass and what constitutes a law. He said something like this but it was a while ago so it's not exact. "In Canada we signed agreements as a country towards civil rights. We have these rights no matter what. When a law is made here called an Act it can't be a real law because it has violated these civil rights. Therefore it is an Act and not a true law and can never be ratified as a true law because it's in violation of these original agreements." It's one that stuck to me anyway.

When it comes to something like this guy here he seems like he is suffering from self entitlement syndrome. However, if enough people join his merry band of miscreants, would that also force change into our society as well? The people make the rules and the people can change them as well? However, I digress, I am talking completely from my rectum here.
