  • Why Do Punishments for Crimes Vary?

    WHY DO PUNISHMENTS FOR CRIMES VARY? (from elsewhere)

    —“The reason for differences in sentencing, which are true, result from the law having three objectives 1) restitution (if possible), 2) prevention of repetition (repeating), 3) prevention of imitation (spreading). Those who have more to lose are more able to perform restitution and less likely to engage in repetition, and their punishments more likely to limit imitation. The only way to shorten punishments is to create good families good homes, good parenting, good education so that current losers have incentive not to enter the system.”—

  • Tough Love: The Reason for Asymmetry in Arrest, Prosecution, and Conviction

    TOUGH LOVE: THE REASON FOR ASYMMETRY IN ARREST, PROSECUTION, AND CONVICTION Again, assuming the same crime, the reason for asymmetry of prosecution and conviction is ‘fleeing officers, non-compliance with officers, resistance to arrest, lack of remorse, lack of family and parental guarantee of constraint, known associates, general demeanor (conform or non-conforming), behavior in custody, lack of restitution, likelihood of recidivism.” That’s why. No secret here. Everyone knows it. The fact that your family and friends pressure you into language, manner, dress, behavior, or that rivals will threaten you if you appear vulnerable or signaling mainstream conformity is no excuse – it just means you haven’t got the willpower, character, or family structure, to behave as a ‘citizen’ meaning ‘a member of commercial society demonstrating adherence to middle class (commercial) norm custom manner, and signal. Man up. Shut up. Don’t Trash Down, Gang Down, or Ghetto Down or speak, act and dress like you’re rebelling against the commercial civilization that made your participation in it’s rewards possible – no matter how small they may be.

  • Natural Law on Marriage – for The Interested

    Marriage is a private contract yes, but it is insured by the community, because of the consequences of broken families placing a burden via moral hazard on the community. So, a marriage contract consists (under natural law) as partnership (not corporation) constructed by the mutual exchange of powers of attorney limited only by those limitations stated, but insured by the polity, and therefore the law (judiciary), against interference that would cause harm unrestitutable harm to family members. As such interference in a marriage exposes one to liability for (very large) damages. And distribution of fault is determined court if not determined by the parties. There is no community property. The children are not property but the insurer of the children, and the polity from the children like any other domesticated animal. The law can have no position on divorce, other than empirical, which is that immature children are the responsibility of the mother in the event of a divorce. Mature children may decide which to live with if parents accept their responsibility as insurer. Upon maturity (puberty) that decision belongs to the children. But no liability exists in either direction. That means no alimony, no child support. Because marriages are transitory, and while a woman may sell her sex, affection, and caretaking the man must sell his productivity.
