Guest guest Posted July 27, 2007 Report Share Posted July 27, 2007 Tev, In law, the word " public " means government, period. This is well documented by the United States Supreme Court in the Dartmouth College case (1819) and reaffirmed variously, as well as in the common law. The JOB of every " public servant " is to serve the government. That a few also attempt to serve We, the People speaks well of those individual men and women, of course. But their JOB is to serve the government ... they have all chosen to contract the services as such (whether or not they comprehended the contract into which they entered). That's the law, and it is quite unambiguous in this regard. The impact goes far. For example, all " public-benefit corporations " exist to benefit the government. This includes ALL corporations with which most people are familiar ... for-profit, nonprofit, religious, educational, scientific, etc. Once we comprehend this fundamental distinction in the law, we can begin to comprehend why the world works as it does, why corporations and individual people have the same " rights " , why much of the constitution seems to have little or no force and effect in our daily lives, and so forth.

It is true, many " Public Servants " serve self interest and special interest, but not all. E.G., see Charlie Crist, Governor of Florida. His mantra seems agreeable to me: " I remember every day that you are the people of Florida and that you have entrusted to me the privilege to serve you. You're my boss and I will always be focused on what you have to say, and I will strive to accomplish the things you need, " Crist says in the nearly two-minute address. -- Charlie Crist; Weekly Radio Address tev Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
