permaculture

[George Mogiljansky <mogiljan@yahoo.com>]

Hello Brent,

This ruling inadvertently (or not) defines and
enshrines what being rich is during the current very
short and distorted time frame; it could be designed
to prolong said time frame. 

The ruling reveals an utter ignorance of economics;
was there no economic advice either sought or given
during the Court's discussions?

The essence of all human social and economic behaviour
is free association. (This has been undermined in
Canada in various rulings by our Supreme Court.)   

The social burden that the Green Party usually
represents has increased a million-fold. The original
constitution is being dismantled and/or demolished.
Either the Greens or someone else must reclaim the
original constitution or formulate a new one. In any
case, a country-wide vote is likely necessary. Are
there any procedures in place, e.g. recall votes,
etc.?
