Healthy laws

For over 40 years I have been asserting that laws are essentially a codification of property rights. I have also pointed out that PROUT's first fundamental principle effectively states that laws must coincide with the will of society.

There should be no accumulation of wealth without the permission of society.

Though the United States Congress has finally begun to accept that the right of private individuals to own and carry guns is not sacrosanct, the highest court of the land, the United States Supreme Court, has just overturned 50 years of legal precedent and women's rights (Roe v. Wade). In doing so, that corrupt court went against the well-known will of society, a will espoused by not just the vast majority of North American citizens but also by the vast majority of world citizens. This dogmatic ruling is absolutely appalling. It simply cannot stand.
