  2. The strength of Section 39 lies in the statement that no dispossession can occur except in accordance with the law of the land: a truly wonderful concept. The weakness occurs when a dumb, cowardly, and ignorant public meekly accept laws of the land that permit dispossession.

    1. Well said. Where once the English people stood defiant against despotic kings, their craven descendants now realize that self-governance can allow their grasping collective to supplant the despot's greed and beggar the productive minority.

  3. "...to supplant the despot's greed and beggar the productive minority."

    spellcheck: shouldn't that be a "u" ?
