Lawyers advise against use of groups who use "freeman of the land arguments" - The Irish Times
The Irish Times has an article today regarding this nonsense. I entirely completely accept it as nonsense.
I even see that a contributor at the foot of the article provides the usual less-than-weighty counter-argument , 'Well, they would say that, wouldn't they?' defence. Interestingly as part of her answer she capitalises 'BAR' (as in to have passed the Bar). This is another example of the nonsense that Freemen espouse - the capitalisation of certain words, either noting they have some form of power or have some other meaning .... ....
The mind boggles with this lunacy, and I am oceans away from my central question;
I did think that all law had been based at its very simplest terms as contract-law, the 'software' if you like that allows societies to function. Rousseau spoke of 'General Will', and I always like that idea. I'm not for one second advocating the nonsense that is Freemen ... etc but are the two concepts reconciable ? (I also accept Rousseau was off his rocker in other areas, and the 'General Will' idea was abused in the '30's)
