Forum Post: Democracy Justice

The U.S.  justice system The quantity of people having to attend courts, is an impediment to productivity and social structure. The very Laws that were created to defend innocent people are now obstructing the lives of innocent people. 
If we punish our own children for every single minor or major error they make, would that make them better children when they grow up? According to numerous researches and statistical analysis the answer is " NO ". That is the exact question I pose to the justice system of the united states. Every broken lamp, every light indicator that doesn't work on a vehicle and every single windshield wiper that doesn't work and every speeding ticket and every parking ticket, takes away valuable productive time from the company that the individual is working at, from the individual's chances of surviving the recession and it impedes in the long term the overall productivity of the entire country.
At least 100,000 individuals per day lose their day to fulfill traffic tickets, infractions and other minor issues. Here is an insight. If every court room has 200 infractions or speeding ticket cases in the name of safety, the result is as follows: 50 states with at least 10 local superior courts in every state ( a conservative estimate ) times 200 cases per day per court equals 100,000 cases nationwide per day times 250 days per year equals 25 million cases every 250 business days. Multiply that by the average, infraction, moving violations which is $300, equals $7500000000 ( $7.5 Billion ) per year, minimum! All in the name of safety! We voted our freedom away by giving others the power to set no human thresholds. Other countries that does not impose in-ratio as much violations, have similar or better safety records, possibly less criminal records per annum. All that money being extracted from hard working individuals every day is eventually going to wreck lives and turn those already closest to the poverty line to the dangerous lines and paths.

I'm not saying not to punish anyone. Initially traffic laws were placed to create order and benefit all citizens. Now they benefit only a few, impede productivity and does not raise safety records. It is harming our lives and our economy. There are cities in the United States where it is virtually impossible to get a job unless one has a vehicle and must drive on an average 15 to 50 miles per day. With the job markets at its lowest since world war II, we the citizens of the United States will find ourselves unable to survive in a hostile environment that does not encourage productivity. Throughout history, we witnessed that when freedom increases, productivity increases and thus the GNP.

The justice system and the police enforcement power has reached an all time efficient levels.  Is it really worth it to punish every single person that did not do what the law states?

It is time to humanize our lives once again. There was once a time in small villages where each person knew the other and everyone was able to determine who is criminal and who is not. It was a brief time in our human history when bribes, corruptions and greed did not govern the outcome of the lives of ORDINARY individuals. We fought Al Capone, Scrutinized Nixon, impeached Clinton etc… in the name of ending corruption and upholding justice.

Corruption is a state that the ORDINARY individual reaches when he/she find themselves in the position of an unopposed power.

It was a time when we were judged according to merits and performance not biddings to buy freedom and bribes to keep corrupt individuals sucking the blood of innocent hard working individuals that believe in equality and human spirit.

We cannot let corruption break our human spirit and find ourselves eventually guided to buy what they want us to buy, eat what they want us to eat, walk however they want us to walk and camp wherever they want us to camp.

We are already a democracy. We are ahead of numerous corrupt countries. We live in the best and strongest country in the world and must remain so by protecting the rights and freedoms of the ORDINARY individuals and not grant the highest bidders the rights to abolish the ORDINARY individual's rights and freedoms.

We pledge that all humans including the rich, the intelligent, the poor and the feeble are ORDINARY and are all equal and no opinion is more important than the other, the voice of each individual must be considered, however difficult it may be to create a system to accommodate that, we must pledge to try our best to protect the rights and freedoms of each individual. We are not numbers and barcodes. We are individuals. Harming one is like harming the other and the entire world. INDIVIDUAL = IN DIVIDE = not divisible unit of a whole. We are one. If you agree then please circulate and if you don't be part of the whole and debate.
