Representation

While it is evident that in an evolving civilization force may be required to compel compliance with the demands of justice, it is also clear that when police define what is justice rather than impartial courts entrusted to interpret these demands on behalf of all, then we have not a civilization, but a state of terror in which war is but a symptom। As a cosmic citizen, I condemn any government that would cancel deliberation by its elected officials, issue edicts of war to a representative forum of global citizens, presume then upon economic assistance from this forum to repair damages it would inflict, launch the charge of a 'crime against humanity' while refusing recognition of the only court capable of adjudicating the charge, then proceed to impose these benighted notions of freedom upon any who would rightly hold them in contempt. This constitutes the abuse of economic privilege which prostitutes liberty while indulging in license, and further makes use of the derivative products of power to attack its source that is the virtue of representative government.
