Pulse of Liberty (From an Anarcho=Libertarian Point of View)

AN IDEA FOR THE TIMES! 

Part of the problem with the country today is that the concept of “responsibility” has been legislatively, educationally and judicially removed from our society. 

            Immunities from prosecution, lawsuits and media exposure abound while malfeasance, bribery, corruption, official murder and contempt for due process are “business as usual.”

            And the citizenry feels helpless because our “elected” “representatives” are on the OTHER side of the fence, laughing at our efforts and cries for justice.

So, here’s an idea:  Simply remove all, and I do mean all, statutory immunities from corporations, government officials, government agencies and / or individuals, except those in witness protection. 

            That would be Step One.

            Step Two:  Establish that the losing party would be responsible for legal expenses engendered by all parties.  That would limit frivolous lawsuits. 

            This would foster a MUCH larger or greater interest in responsibility for one’s products (in the case of corporations such as big Pharma), or individual actions (in the case of government or police agent/agency actions) if they could actually be threatened with a day in open court.  Even the leftist co-opted media couldn’t cover THAT up.  

            The murdering police thug could face having his pension garnished, along with his fellow officers, might just rethink his habit of shooting unarmed homeless people.

            The non-working government employee, collecting a salary for sitting at home, could lose that home.

            The bribable city agent could cost the city millions as well as face prison time. 

            The corrupt Lieutenant Governor of a large state could be forced to explain his campaign donations in open court, along with their connections to his legislative actions.

            The Senator would be explaining why her husband keeps getting EXTREMELY lucrative government contracts without having to bid for them. 

            The local police chief would be explaining to his areas of responsibility why he is devoting so many local resources to implementing Federal rules and regulations, regardless of local laws, without compensation.  Why is he so eager to pursue questionable Federal actions in the first place.

            The list goes on… 

            Removing that immunity bar would reinstate RESPONSIBILITY… to individuals, agencies, departments, corporations and, of course, our legislative, judicial and executive branches of government.

            And adding the RESPONSIBILITY for legal fees and expenses would deter frivolous actions by unscrupulous lawyers and / or individuals. 

            With appropriate consequences, of course, for both lawyers and pledants.
