Text of the page (random words):
n viewpoints allowed our democracy has been usurped that s for starters in addition to violating the first and fourteenth amendments the california sheriff restriction also violates the article iv section 4 guarantee to the states that they shall have a republican form of government the supreme court has long since recognized that the fundamental principle of republicanism is in the words of alexander hamilton that the people should choose whom they please to govern them by expressly setting out to stop people from outside of the government from winning elections california has attacked this principle so directly as to enable the first viable guarantee clause suit in the history of the nation will the courts hear it update this suit was appealed to the united states supreme court on september 23rd 2003 petition for writ of certiorari update the foolish supremes turned down their chance to set a truly important precedent but at least my petition to the supremes put my briefs in proper final order anyone who lives in a state that limits candidacy to members of the government itself use my brief as a template and sue until somebody wins not every judge can be brain dead 2 how to unleash police powers to the permanent extremes necessary to defeat an ever more technologically empowered terrorist threat while at the same time greatly increasing protection for liberty just protect liberty directly by articulating the full ideal of protected liberty and placing it in the constitution instead of indirectly by placing restrictions on law enforcement liberty will be much better protected it will be protected systematically in place of the hit and miss of indirect protection this in turn will render indirect protections superfluous allowing indirect protections to be largely dispensed with untying the hands of law enforcement if good is to triumph over evil in the 21st century half the population must read this go 3 in addition to unleashing police powers there is also a way that we can make our system of criminal trial vastly more efficient just have juries hand down multiple verdicts according to multiple standards of guilt our present one verdict system lumps the certainly guilty together with the almost certainly guilty some of whom are innocent this greatly limits the severity with which we can deal with the certainly guilty while imposing horrific injuries on the wrongly convicted by the simple device of asking juries to discriminate further we can gain tremendous leverage over the guilty while greatly reducing harm to the innocent go the above direct protection and multiple verdicts schemes present the most immediately important sections of a book on republicanism that i am writing the leverage over the guilty that these two schemes generate combine multiplicatively not additively ten times ten baby our body politic needs a modern immune system and this is it the criminals are history it might even be enough to deal with the islamists and their descendants for a short introduction to both schemes and how they fit into the larger structure of republicanism click here to view the introduction to my book on republicanism 4 distrust in truth studies in the phenomenon of illiberal liberalism those who call themselves liberal in america are relentlessly illiberal not only are they against gun rights and school choice they are against choice on abortion in favor of forcing people who think abortion is murder to pay for other people s abortions they are anti raising your own children in favor of forcing families with stay at home moms to subsidize working moms via the socialization of day care they are anti freedom of contract in favor of replacing the at will contract where merit is judged by liberty with government oversight of merit whenever race sex language religion handicap sexual behavior or any other mark of diversity is involved which will soon be always they reject freedom of association and the treating of people as individuals in favor of sweeping racial gender and other preferences imposed by law etcetera ad nauseum there is virtually no issue on which liberals are liberal how to account for this astounding phenomenon there is a profound correspondence between genuine liberalism and trust in truth the truth is that liberty works gun rights work school choice works freedom of contract works freedom of association works thus trust in truth leads to trust in liberty the connection also goes the other way trust in liberty leads to truth liberty sets up a society wide scientific process as individuals and groups make and disseminate their own discoveries about where value lies and how to pursue it liberty allows everyone s ideas to be tested against reality thereby uncovering reality and this discovery of truth leads to trust in truth because the truth is that only the truth matters thus every society is marked by competing synergies trust in liberty leads to expansion of liberty which leads to expansion of truth which leads to trust in truth which leads to further trust in liberty while diminution of liberty leads to diminution of truth and diminished trust in truth which leads to distrust in liberty which leads to further diminution of liberty this subject has long been a research topic for me during the summer of 2003 i wrote up two short studies exposing and accounting for illiberal liberalism one is a special report documenting distrust in truth on the part of california s liberal newspapers media bias in california why a moderately conservative electorate is represented by a left wing legislature the other is a dissection of the anti conservative theory of conservatism published in a psychological journal by four leftist liberal professors at stanford berkeley and the university of maryland in july of 03 researchers expose the psychology of the illiberal liberal mind in presenting their characterization of conservatives who they take to be their opposites these self professedly liberal professors actually give in photo negative a pretty compelling picture of their own illiberal liberal minds and it isn t just them apparently this kind of photo negative self description has been going on for fifty years all compiled by the four lefty professors in their glorified literature review lending perhaps some real credence to this self characterization by the left both the methods and the results of the study strongly support the connection between illiberalism and distrust in truth and help to give an account of it 5 the decentralized coordination of intelligence in addition to a modern immune system our body politic also needs a modern brain again this is from my upcoming book on republicanism again what i am releasing now only focuses on the most immediate need i m just trying to hook up that one wire that will bring a dead picture tube to life go what am i doing pressing a suit i don t even wear a suit look at the knot on that tie links lawsuit direct protection of liberty multiple verdicts of guilt book on republicanism illiberal liberalism decentralized coordination of intelligence latest opinion columns etc rebel yell site search contact email alerts sign up donate opinion columns etcetera visit my latest postings page to find my latest opinion columns from newsmax opeds com and the stanford review older columns appear further down the page news about my lawsuit and entries under any other headings will be linked in on the latest postings page as they appear also check out my rebel yell political cartoon feature contact you can reach me at alec rawls org i send out a blind cc mailing list with links to new articles as i post them if you would like to be on this list let me know please and or imagine if those who shared some particular set of political or cultural interests started paying for online content that they thought was worth their time that group would gain a huge advantage because their intellectuals would be supported in our society in particular when the mainstream media with its numerous little bastions of monopoly power are almost entirely controlled by one political party paying for content online allows alternative viewpoints to be supported ideally this support should be on a unit basis maybe five or ten cents per short article unfortunately micro payments that small are still not supported the paypal fee schedule on donations the one viable service for this kind of transaction at present is 30 cents 2 2 as a practical matter then donations have to be lump sum rather than item by item but this is only a small hurdle have you found my writings worth your time then please consider paying me one tenth or one hundredth of the value of your time or of what you are willing to sell it to your employers for for the time you spend here eventually this kind of scheme will enable the decentralized coordination of intelligence as people pay for what they find worthwhile information will accumulate about who has similar judgment about what things the accuracy of this information can be increased by people taking another few seconds to submit numerical ratings of merit for what they are paying for it will then be possible to compile this feedback automatically and use it to formulate personalized predictions of what individual users will find most worth their time based on what other individuals who display similar judgment have rated most worthwhile such a system will allow everyone to act as everyone else s eyes and ears which will allow current editorial bottlenecks to be bypassed the accuracy of the predictions offered by this kind of rating engine is a function of the ratings base that it has to project from as more people use it predictive power will increase until at some point the predictive power will be such that payments will probably switch to the same up front format as for other consumer goods people will prefer to spend a small fraction of the value of their time attending to what can be expected to be worth their time rather than waste a large fraction of their time looking for what is worth their time efficiency and desert will both be served less time will be wasted and merit will be both disseminated and rewarded automatically until then dissemination of judgment and the rewarding of merit depend on the socially concerned action of individuals it is up to each of us to spread the word about what is worthwhile and to pay for it so that those who speak for us can continue to do so all it requires is for lots of people to take five minutes to enter their credit card numbers one time at paypal all paypal wants is thirty cents a pop we can deal with that until we can convince them to give us something like a 12 2 fee schedule on the first 3 the point beyond which 12 2 becomes greater than 30 cents 2 2 on the condition that donators have a positive paypal balance in which case paypal does not have to bill the credit card reducing its transactions costs to almost zero a matter of automated internal accounting that kind of pure percentage fee schedule will allow true micro payments until then we just need to make our payments to each other lump sum instead of pay as you go wait till you figure you owe me a buck or two then send it along paypal will come around or risk losing out to who will but there is no need for us to wait as is paypal is offering we the people an unprecedented opportunity to break the mainstream media monopoly on who gets paid for their contributions to public discussion let s take advantage of it site links home latest opinion columns etc lawsuit direct protection multiple verdicts book on republicanism illiberal liberalism decentralized coordination of intelligence rebel yell site search contact email sign up donate recovered earlier version of my rawls org website sometime around the year 2000 i switched from using a mac to using a windows machine in the turnover i lost the ability to hook my old mac up to the internet i got new website software and my old site ended up getting overwritten despite my having put a hell of a lot of work into it i always figured it would be an easy matter to at some point figure out how to get the old mac stuff combined with the new windows stuff so i could get my earlier work online again and it probably would have been easy but i never got around to it until now late 2011 more than ten years later citizens safer armed rawls for sheriff home page liberty fairness friendship copyright and all other intellectual property rights alec rawls 1998 99 welcome to rawls org authored by alec rawls i established this site to promote my run for sheriff of santa clara county in the june 98 primary elections and to make available my writings on many subjects most importantly my magnum opus moral science republicanism violated only members of the incumbent regime are allowed to run for sheriff they aren t allowing us throw the bums out in march 98 i sued the state of california for ballot access in the sheriff s race the sheriff s association the biggest spending lobby in the state has succeeded in paying the legislature to ban their electoral competition only current and recent members of law enforcement are allowed to run for leadership of law enforcement this is an unprecedented assault on the accountability of government to the people for the first time in our nation s history members of the government itself have been granted exclusive privilege in the electoral process while supreme court precedent requires that election laws be designed to facilitate accurate representation of the will of the people this law is designed to limit the views that the people are allowed to express and in the most audacious fashion no civilian viewpoints allowed my suit against this unconstitutional usurpation of the democratic process for the very important office of sheriff has led to a key discovery the actual meaning of the constitution s article iv section 4 guarantee to the states that they shall have a republican form of government and how it is indeed justiciable according to the letter of existing supreme court precedent despite the court s own summary statements to the contrary the court s actual bases for ruling earlier cases nonjusticiable admit of crucial exceptions which have simply not been represented in any case the court has ever heard this would have changed if i could have gotten the court to hear my case the first properly justiciable guarantee clause case ever brought they failed to pay attention but my briefs lay out the roadmap for a later suit to end the gurantee clause s present state of duessitude
