"As a citizen of the world, I am to enjoin you to be exemplary in the discharge of your civil duties, by never proposing or at all countenancing etc.....to pay due obedience to the laws of any State which may for a time become the place of your residence or afford you its protection....etc,."That reflects my masonic attitude to people that deliberately flout the law. My many years of experience of having to deal face to face with these people and the misery they cause, shapes my personal feelings towards them. My comments however, were not aimed at this group of people, however personally distateful I find them, but more at the hypocricy of councils, who enforce their regulations against the law abiding, but not against those who ignore them, on grounds of political correctness or the soft witted belief that it "infringes their 'yuman rights."
I am sure bod, that you are not condoning lawlessness and your post reflects only your wish to love all your fellow man. I thus do not intend to get into a bun fight over it and apologise if my flippant comment, intended to be humorous, has made you feel uncomfortable in any way.
