marbles, It isn't clear what right I'm infringing by trespassing (is it a search?). Still, what you are saying is that the government purpose cited is not a compelling one. How about the park service's offices, can I demonstrate there?


Frederic Bastiat: "Life, faculties, production — in other words, individuality, liberty, property — this is man. And in spite of the cunning of artful political leaders, these three gifts from God precede all human legislation, and are superior to it. Life, liberty, and property do not exist because men have made laws. On the contrary, it was the fact that life, liberty, and property existed beforehand that caused men to make laws in the first place.

What, then, is law? It is the collective organization of the individual right to lawful defense.

Each of us has a natural right — from God — to defend his person, his liberty, and his property. These are the three basic requirements of life, and the preservation of any one of them is completely dependent upon the preservation of the other two. For what are our faculties but the extension of our individuality? And what is property but an extension of our faculties? If every person has the right to defend even by force — his person, his liberty, and his property, then it follows that a group of men have the right to organize and support a common force to protect these rights constantly. Thus the principle of collective right — its reason for existing, its lawfulness — is based on individual right. And the common force that protects this collective right cannot logically have any other purpose or any other mission than that for which it acts as a substitute. Thus, since an individual cannot lawfully use force against the person, liberty, or property of another individual, then the common force — for the same reason — cannot lawfully be used to destroy the person, liberty, or property of individuals or groups."

If you're trespassing on private property, then you're violating the owner's natural right to life.

If you're trespassing on public property, rarely is that ever violating anyone's natural rights. Depending on the circumstances you could be violating legal rights or statutory rights by interfering with a government function. Sometimes that may be the intent of the demonstrators. Dancing at the JM doesn't violate anyone's rights, natural or legal. Outlawing it does.

Society is interesting enough to poke your head into every once in a while - just to see whats "new" - but boy is it depressing to partake in for long.

I'd like to think this human experiment won't go (completely) to shit in my lifetime, but if this thread/site is a microcosm of what it is and whats to come as of 2010...then jeez...think we'll make it?

When will we learn that we've already learned this lesson before?

R.I.P Burrhus Frederic Skinner (March 20, 1904 – August 18, 1990)

obamarx is doing the same thing that sank Greece here in America: expanding government with no way to pay for it (not that Bush was much better with the first round of failouts and medicare D).

The EU is encouraging more of the same with their handouts. November's elections will indicate if America will follow Greece into financial Hades.
