In a more literal sense of answering the question proposed in the topic, the own mods/admins killed grasscity when they banned Rasta_Man. The Spirituality & Philosophy forum has been way less fun, educational, and insightful without him. What a loss.

Alas, the grass is not dead, it just smells funny... a little bit skunky...

I will bring leaves of grass this spring that would make Walt Whitman smile...

If you can't handle the heat...

By the way, I'm sorry that you still think of things in terms of "normalcy". You might realize that things aren't so simply black and white at some point in the near future if you stick around here a little.

I guess it's no stranger than a monkey who walks on two legs and causes destruction.

lol alright now back to the topic. I sence a bit of nostalgia in the OP's position, for whatever reason it may be. Don't be so worried about the lose of clarity in others to judge correctly. Know that their lose is your gain, because as they are able to give you further clarity to an issue that otherwise would not be defined.

People require a reason for every action, just look at a 5 year old... they are forever asking questions. If today all laws were destroyed, I can guarantee that by the time the next generation rolls around, we would have a new set of laws to govern every decision that is possible... Even if they are simply oral laws, their would become a common set of agreed upon truths.

laws guide the conscience until the point of realization; and after the point of realization the conscience becomes the law. It is the way we are built.

The effect of the Law is often to separate the desirable, from the undesirable. However in order to execute this judgment properly, the judge of the law must not just understand the letter of the law, but the intent of the law.

In order to properly understand the intent of the law, the judge must either use a precedent, or create one. So, if a precedent does not exist, the situation must be decided in the highest court, where the individuals who have attained realization can decide what the intent of the law is in the specific situation.

(In actuallity the people who judge the highest court have no need of realization, because their position does not inheriently require it. Their position requires that they interpret the law in a way that is consistent with the views of the individual who appointed them. So if the individual who appointed them was a 'realized' individual, then the judge will be likewise)

Now, moving onto what the point of digit's rant is. If the effect of the law is to separate, or to judge the good from the bad is this effect desirable; and does it achieve a positive outcome. (positive in the way of 100% efficacy)

A wise man once said, "Judge not, lest ye be judged; for with the measure with which you judge will be measured back to you".

To my understanding, it is a glory and an honor for the law to be upheld righteously. Because the righteous become more righteous when they execute wise judgment.

When I sit on the toilet and drop a few of the little guys off, and then send them to hang out with their friends I have executed judgment. I have said, you little shits are better off hanging out with other pieces of shit like you, so that when you smell nobody will notice. In fact you will have a much better existence if you all just hang out together. So long have fun, until you aren't such a piece of shit anymore, I don't want to see you again.

This is an example of a righteous judgment, because this means that I don't have to get sick; and I have not condemned my little buddies, eventually because I chose to send them off they will be fertilizer, and grow into something. Everything maintains a balance.

Now somewhere along the way in our society righteous judgment has been lost. You can see in the previous example we maintain a relatively high level of efficacy. The shit and myself both benefited from the separation.. Their was no need for us to play together in the bath tub.

However, when you throw away something or judge it incorrectly, you must accept a measure of punishment for your mistake. For example throwing away non-biodegradable products. You know very well that they are not going to a better place, you are just moving the problem. You would be better off keeping them around, or placing them in storage where you know that it will be properly cared for until it can receive a proper judgment.

definite undefined shades of rainbow in various tints.
it gets to be such a laugh to throw those 1 dimensional measuring sticks around though, once they're known for what they are, just a 1 dimensional measuring stick... not ultimate reality.

They way I see it, the government, authority figure (whatever) are controlling society, human behavior. But somewhere along the way, rules were placed for a reason. Someone, somewhere did something that had negative impacts on society. The goverment retaliates and removes this freedom to society.

So authority are responsible for restricting our society, but deep down, society, or individuality lead to the closure of a freedom.

Is it human nature to want to be restricted, then?

Yeah, I hate to break it to ya, but our excrement gets sent to a wastewater treatment center, where it undergoes serveral chemical processess. The last process to cleaning the water is to add chlorine to kill anything volatile that might still be thriving in the water. This chlorinated water gets piped out miles away from our coast line on the ocean floor. If you didn't know, chlorine is a very caustic chemical and is very reactive as an ion, and has a huge negative affect on the surrounding environment. The point that I am trying to get across here, is that every action we take has an effect on our environment. I agree with the original poster that unless we as humans act cohesively to respect our environment together we will ruin the only habitat we were given.

if i may interject, though that may indeed seem the case, there are many referenceable examples where government has created or conjured or orchastrated events happening so that they are given the apparent reason for the ability to make rules for the purpose of gaining new power from the subserviant power ignorant.

it's nature to need a balance of [b]both[/i] boundaries/references and freeing/liberty.

Can't liberate/free yourself without finding yourself in chains first, I'd say.

edit: which i should mention, apply much more to society then to grasscity.
immaturity killed grasscity.

It's simple. Humans are an inferior race. Sure, superior to the current inhabitors of the world, but in the grand scheme of things we are just another pawn. Soon, we will die out and a new, probably better suited species will emerge. Just look at history, it will happen. Only time will tell, though. It may be millions of years.

[burnttwaffle]
