\u201cOrder may be nothing more than evidence of tyranny. Order may be nothing more than the prohibitions on freedom, the elimination of rights and the suppression of liberty. You are just as unsafe when things are too orderly as when they are disorderly.\u201d<\/em>\u00a0\u2014 Jerry Day<\/p>\n

Governments have learned that laws can be used as revenue and control measures by criminalizing more and more of human activity. Indeed, in many instances the term \u201ccriminal\u201d is now meaningless as law enforcement has become a greater threat to ordinary people than actual criminals.<\/p>\n

At an accelerating rate, western governments are criminalizing victimless trivialities for profit and control of the masses.

\n<\/span>As it is impossible for a person to peruse all the required pages in order to comply with the laws, we are all probable criminals. Thus, the word \u201ccriminal\u201d has effectively lost its meaning. \u2028Governments not only criminalize behavior for revenue purposes and in order to create a slave prison population to be exploited by private industries.
