Wouldn't it be a kindness to Americans and Foreigners to....salvage "Habeas Corpus"?
Think about it for awhile.
If anyone disagrees a bit too dramatically with an official they can put into jail without trial. The system of checks and balances, which kept this country truly safe, is not yet restored.
Hello people?
The freedom to worship is no longer valued, no the freedom to speak out, people, get it?
The author is writing from a sense of grief. (How do you post blogs so others can find them?) It's a private grief. And the author will hold a positive thought. Habeas Corpus is not yet restored back into Law. Not yet.
First cigarette smoking in public banned, then seat belts required by law, now this! What will happen next? (Oops...that's negative thinking!)
Who even knows about it? Who can even find this blog to read it?
I guess to learn about kindness, it's useful to observe the lack of it.
Thanks for your visit here today.
:)
Be at peace.
Welcome to the original One Kind Action blog. What about signing in with us to do one kind action for another each day? Feel free to join in! It doesn't matter if you know the person. It doesn't matter if the person knows you. If one can post one kind action each week, or each day, wonderful. Post as much as you like and share the experience. Some years ago I thought to do this as a book. Why not a blog with everyone joining in to show lots of "one kind actions"? Have fun!

What is Habeus Corpus?
I like never take a soap box on political stuff. But this is unkind here. No one is talking about this on the internet. Maybe people don't know what Habeus Corpus is? Might we see it as a kindness?
From Wiki
In common law countries, habeas corpus (/'heɪbiəs 'kɔɹpəs/), Latin for "you [should] have the body", is the name of a legal instrument or writ by means of which detainees can seek release from unlawful imprisonment. A writ of habeas corpus is a court order addressed to a prison official (or other custodian) ordering that a detainee be brought to the court so it can be determined whether or not that person is imprisoned lawfully and whether or not he or she should be released from custody. The writ of habeas corpus in common law countries is an important instrument for the safeguarding of individual freedom against arbitrary state action.
Get it? "Arbitrary Action?"
Thanks for viewing "James's" rant!

Peace yall

Habeus Corpus, the End of Law?
The author of this blog is writing this more for himself. There is a sense of grief tonight at the end of Habeus Corpus. A law was signed today to end the freedom of Americans. Any American can be put in jail without trial, and without knowing why they were put in jail. It really does seem to come down to the mood of the President. Anyone be declared an "enemy combatant" if they are disagreeable to the President and his Advisors.

This is a HUGE loss for America, and could lead to the end of the First Amendment. That's the Amendment that allows this author to state this opinion on the blog. It hasn't lead to the loss of the First Amendment yet. At least, not in the technicalities. Freedom of Speech was only possible because of "Habeus Corpus," also know in law as the "Great Writ".
The author is from a family of proud lawyers. The author is not lawyer himself. Look at it like this. Make any vehicles in Nascar illegal, and then continue to televise Nascar. Well, there would be no vehicles, would there? The great profession of the Law, the American Bar Association, has been neutered. What will lawyers do now for thier cases? They are now like Nascar drivers without a vehicle.
The author hopes this didn't just happen. The author hopes this is just a fantasy. Before, with the terrorists, only some parts of the country were not safe. Now, without the rights to freedom, is any part of the country safe?

Ignore-
We all think we know what kindness is. Because we think we know, we form an opinion. Forming an opinion is the way we ignore things.
This ignore-ance permits us to commit atrocious acts, unawares, because we already know “what kindness is”.
Can we, for once, explore kindness for ourselves, be open to this?
This possibly leads to knowledge.
let's check it out?

WARNING
This is not easy to do. I KEEP FORGETTING TO REMEMBER to do it.
I've checked it out some now, and I can say it takes some, "conscious-awareness." You won't know what that is until you take it on yourSelf.
Expect...the feeling of...effort.
But...what the hell? What would the world be like if one person did one kind action for another person each day? What would YOUR world be like.
This isn't easy as you think.
You can only know by finding out for yourself. Feel free to post a comment anywhere (It's all the same subject) about your one kind action for the week. (Days optional)
Warning! You might forget!
:)

Change the World
They say they want to change the world.
Doesn't that start in your own town? Right where you are?
What about doing one kind action and taking that time out. Is this too much to ask?
(maybe even check it out)

One Kind Action
If just one person did this, it could catch on. It would be like Noahs Ark!
There'd be this one doing one kind action for that one, and that one for the other one, and soon kids and animals and zebras and the monkeys would be involved and out of this may evolve some consideration for others, and being as NONharmful as possible to others, kind.
Think about it for awhile.

Post One Kind Action
You are invited to share Your own ONE KIND ACTION for the week (daily actions optional) in any of the COMMENTS.
What if one person in your neighborhood did one kind action for another each day? And if it didn't matter if the other person knew? Just one kind action each day? Here, we'll start with one kind action each week, and work our way on down to the daily level. Let's see what happens. (Posts can be anonymous-the highest form of giving...)
