Legalese

There is a type of language that is written and spoken every day around the world that occurs in many different languages no matter the dialect, only you need a special pass to use it. It is within a narrow margin or general society that this society exists whose members use this type of language and you need to be approved to do so. In order to speak legalese one must pass the bar. In Canada that means to join a society that agrees upon the terms by which everything will be defined. These people are lawyers and they represent the society that presides over all legal matters in the name of the crown. If you have not joined this society you are not entitled to interpret or use the legalese language and must seek out their expertise to adjudicate any issue.

What this all boils down to for me is that we, as regular old citizens, do not even have the capacity to interpret our own legal status in the society we inhabit, and furthermore, that we have to beg a member of another society, dedicated to upholding the statutes deemed legitimate by a crown, in order to be heard at all.

Having been stripped of autonomy and sovereignty at birth and given an inauthentic strawman of a person to identify with, people are flaccidly complacent even in the face of bold-faced liars, thieves, and outright scoundrels that call themselves authorities and governments.

Here's the break-down as I see it right now: first, little Johnny is born and is issued a birth certificate. Second, John enters the workforce with his S.I.N. and lives ho hum day to day. Third, something happens to John that he could never have seen coming, and it can happen in many different ways. Maybe it was a little 'legal' slip up and John broke a rule. Maybe that rule is generally accepted to be breakable, like smoking pot, or maybe it's something more serious and a legitimate, like drinking and driving. In either case, policy enforcers, I mean police officers, will intervene on your behalf with or without your consent. This is because they are of the perspective that everyone is subject to the statute laws that apply to persons, and that flesh and blood human beings are identical to the persons created for poor Johnny when he was born, and that he unknowingly and tacitly agreed to in becoming an employee of the state with his original S.I.N. Ever signed a contract with anyone saying that you owed them a particular amount of money called tax? No? I didn't either.
