Civil rights of individuals are essential, no one will deny this; personally, I argue that they are very similar to one's sexual integrity - the violation of either civil or sexual rights, rape, are very comparable malicious acts.
Defending civil rights is a noble activity, but just like with sexual violence the victims of civil rights violations run a very high risk of becoming offenders themselves later in life.
This is what has happened in Washington State - to, I believe, the entire corporate body of the State itself, not to mention an increasing number of it's private members - corporate and individual.
Partisan politics, the legal profession, and leading members of the corporate leadership community, public and private, are responsible for this, in the final analysis. First among these are the former Attorney Generals Republican Rob McKenna and Democrat Christine Gregoire (a law school cohort of Ted Bundy) - not to mention the lawyer controlled Jack Abramoff conspiring Corporation, Microsoft and it's chief Counsel, Brad Smith - curiously selected by Washington D.C. refugee Jay Inslee to head his transition effort.
This may seem shocking, but the details are all in the public record, should one step back from the partisan smoke and take an honest look at the situation.
Washington State Governor-Elect Jay Inslee has the opportunity to stop this, but indicators are that he will most definitely not - continuing the spew of partisan hate upon the citizenry of that State, in direct violation of the entire spirit and letter of our system of law as grounded in the State and Federal Constitutions.
To make myself clear, I am charging that the legal profession has taken over America through it's creation the, corporation in direct sedition against the people, the final authority in all matters, punishable, under Federal Law, by Death, and rightly so.
