Natural laws cannot be broken without profound consequences. Attempting to defy gravity by leaping off a cliff with a drop of two-thousand feet of vertical relief will have profound consequences as one’s body comes to an abrupt halt on the valley floor. It will not be the fall that hurts, rather the sudden stop! Laws written by mortals (Homo sapiens) are not absolute, nor should they be cast in the same mold as natural laws. They are as imperfect as those legal practitioners developing their foundations. We establish limits to our behavior with laws which are a necessary condition for civic discourse. Laws function by placing limits on our actions as a means of establishing boundaries for socially accepted behavior, thus redirecting populations to behave and practice their lives as a more peaceful, efficiently functioning society (https://bit.ly/2IYRKOS). When laws are only designed to service a select group of people at the expense of the masses, then they cease to function in a manner to which they should be written - for the good and welfare of all! When legislators enact proclamations, treaties, and written laws that are contrary to reasoned, prudent judgment, and they defend their actions on profoundly flawed arguments, then the fabric of an organized society will ultimately become chaotic, and civil discourse will have been destroyed (https://goo.gl/tKiyna).

Hiding behind poorly reasoned rulings is nothing more than a formalized attempt to control people and enjoy personal gains. It is quite revealing that every native American treaty was ultimately broken or significantly rewritten (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trail_of_Broken_Treaties) to benefit the ‘white man’ asserting the severely flawed argument of ‘manifest destiny;’ and that the fate of native Americans was never seriously considered in the discussions for westward expansion. Diminishing environmental protections and health constraints (clean water, air, removal of carcinogenic compounds from foods) impacts all biological lifeforms, yet laws designed to protect the environment have been diluted or never fully enforced. Failing to properly budget the agencies tasked to enforce written laws and standards has served to satisfy the greed of large corporations (fossil fuel industry, defense, and other supporting enterprises), banks, Wall Street investors, politicians, and other wealthy individuals; but it is at the expense of causing detrimental impacts on the planet’s entire ecosystem, which includes humans.
