I am fighting to have access, not custody, to/of my son. I was told by my lawyer, “There is nothing reasonable or fair about the law”. My response was, “Then why does it command our allegiance?”.

I received no answer.

Bump!

Then why do we render what it commands?

Why do we value "law abiding" over liberty? Because in the short term, it's easier and less risky -- and therefore more appealing to the lazy and timid.

In the long term, our children and grandchildren will suffer the consequences. Yet we denounce legislators for heaping debt on the not-yet-born. We -- not the legislators -- are heaping chains and darkness on them.
