LAWS
Cokhkued mow pIu 2
In case you missed the abusive
message, the enen^ is YOU.
When yoq choose notto obey some
'trivial' or 'excessively oppres¬
sive' law, you broke the law. And
EVERY person who breaks ANY
law is jnst as self-righteous as YOU
are, about their reasons for doing
just as they damn well please.
On this campus, as is the rest of
what passes for civilization, traf¬
fic laws are becoming more and
more of a bad joke. When the
aforementioned Budget and Fi¬
nance dept. advertised for cost-
cutting ideas, one of my sugges¬
tions was that the school's police
actually enforce the existing laws.
One result would be suing the state
for injuries received as a result of
the dereliction of the persons who
are responsible for the enforce¬
ment of laws, persons who, in¬
stead, encourage the continued
increase ii. the violation of those
laws.
The authorities are always re¬
sponsible for the safety of the
public and when they fail to take
reasonable precautions to protect
the public from easily foreseen
dangers they are legally liable for
any damage or injury caused by
that dereliction. Currently the
authorities at this university, pur¬
sue a policy of encouraging reck¬
less behaviof. This will inevitably
result in large quantities of money
being paid to the lawyers of whom¬
soever is injured by this reckless
behavior, or, that payment has
already occurred even though we
don't know, because the state
would strongly desire that nobody
else get the same bright idea of
collecting a lot of money from the
state (which ^^^^^^^

are much too piggy to behave of
their own free will.   .
I should make note of the coin¬
cidence, that shortly after I made
my recommendations to the bu¬
reaucrats, they did something
which is often done, when the au¬
thorities notice that some good,
white folks

easily do, if
they could es¬
tablish the fact
that the au¬
thorities are
continually and
deliberately
derelict in their
duty). It is precisely because of
that desire by the authorities, for
continued secrecy about their
negligence, that I desire the publi¬
cation of this diatribe.
Certainly there will be no
changes made, but, if any future
party injured on this campus wishes
to establish that the authorities have
been habitually derelict in their
duties, this public acknowledge¬
ment of that fact may assist some
injured person in their attempts to
collect damages from the state.
And I would be happy to help the
state to be obliged to pay for their
reluctance to perform their duty
(to ensure the public safety). Those
who, like your boy Vice Presidenu
deplore the proliferation of law¬
suits should be eager to force
people to behave responsibly in
the first place. The reason we need
laws and courts is that most people

are breaking
the law;
namely they
changed the
law in the
fond hope
that this
would solve
the problem: no
more law; no more broken law.
Unfortunately, this, the lazy way
ouudoesn'twoik. Lawsare needed
primarily because so many people
will have such a high opinion of
themselves that they will subsume
to themselves, the right to do
anything they please. The job of
the government is to ensure that
the law of the pigsty does NOT
prevail (survival of the piggiest).
.And those who have the opinion
that they are above such trivial
considerations, will NOT have that
opinion lowered as a result of the
government elimination of which¬
ever laws are just too inconven-
ienL I have observed numerous
occasions when the government
attempted to solve the problem of.
speeding by simply-sgiting the
speed limit. This only further
encourages the piggies to become
even more piggy. I have rarely
noticed that automobile drivers
need to be encouraged to behave
more hastily than they already do.
Rather (as should be obvious) they
will quite naturally tend to drive
faster and more recklessly, and the
police will all the while shrug their
shoulders, saying that it is much to
close to coffee break time, so let
boys be boys. -And, as I have pre¬
viously stated, and you have pre¬
viously scoffed at; any other laws
which are just a bit too inconven-
ien 1, are added to the ever-increas¬
ing list of laws which 'everyone
knows' are not obeyed.. If you
heard of someone who left their
car keys in their car and it was
stolen, you would say they were
asking for it, right? Not only lock
every door on your car before you
let it out of your sight, you also
have one of those shrieking alarms
which everyone ignores, and
maybe even one of those big, red
bars on the steering wheel. You
just don't get iL do you? All the
while yon swoon over those TV
shows which show our friendly,
neighborhood swat teams or death
squads, or whatever, apprehend¬
ing yet another criminal. You
really don't get iL
