Descent into Madness by Stephen Gray The country’s descent into madness started during the reign of the Philospher King. The King had grandiose ideas and a new Constitution for the country. The Constitution was called the Charter of Rights and Freedoms. The people did not get a chance to vote on it. This Charter had turned sense into nonsense and the judiciary into de facto rulers. It was like living in an asylum. The Constitution could mean anything. If something could not be found in the Constitution, a judge just pretended it was there by reading it in. A precedent was created from an imagination. This was known as Alice in Wonderland law or imaginative justice, and Alice was gender neutral of course. The independence of the judiciary had resulted in licentious decisions. There was not a perversion they could not legitimize or a creative solution they could not invent by using the words "artistic merit," "tolerance" and "diversity." The judges all had different visions of the Constitution, one thought it was a "living tree," another thought of it as "frozen." Sane people thought of it as insanity written into law. The charter disease had spread throughout the land and appeared to have entered the brain cells, causing confusion in the thought processes so that bad was good and good was bad. It was as if Animal Farm and 1984, Orwell’s works of fiction had become fact. Real power was held by the judges; the elected politicians deferred to them and also abdicated some power to political appointees. Bizarrely named "human right commissions" were able to legitimize every wrong and gave credence to Orwell’s fiction being reality. Newspeak and double speak was their language. Wrong had become right and right had become wrong; truth was lies and lies was truth. The saying those whom the gods wish to destroy, they first drive mad, could have been the country’s slogan. The lifeblood of the country had become contaminated. A lifestyle that could bring disease and death, if practiced, was legitimized as a protected right. Anyone criticizing perversion could find themselves charged with "hate crimes." Decency and morality had been outlawed. Every year parades were held where debauchery and depravity were on show. These were considered a source of pride and to cavort naked and make obscene gestures with one’s genitalia was considered to be your community on parade. The politicians outdid themselves, making sure they were upfront leading the decadence, and a police chief even took part. Law and disorder was marching side by side. It was as if a huge toilet bowl had spilled its contents and the filth was now polluting the streets. The children in school were taught that debauchery was diversity, that they could have any amount of mothers or fathers, or that a father could be a mother and a mother could be a father. Childhood innocence was a target to be destroyed. Tolerance of any lifestyle was mandated, even if that lifestyle could kill. Killing the child in the womb was called a "choice." Abortion was called healthcare, for pregnancy had become a disease. Abortion clinics were known as Health Centres proving again that Orwellian doublespeak had become reality. Abortion, of course, was anything but healthy for the child in the womb. Spotted owls, trees, whales, cats, fish and dogs were a protected species. Animals had more rights than the unborn child. The abortionist was hailed by some as a great humanitarian. In times past, before the country had lost its sanity, the abortionist had been a pariah but was now hailed as a practitioner. The government was in the dope business: Safe Houses to shoot up in were considered necessary even though drugs were supposed to be illegal. Free needles were provided for a fix. Anyone opposing the dope agenda which was called "harm reduction" -- more Orwellian words -- was known as uncaring, mean spirited and judgemental. It seemed that those in positions of power were also on a high and those who were normal were the lowest of the low. The country had become a protector of deviants. To be normal was to be ridiculed. To be sane was to be called insane. To be moral was to be called immoral. The language had become debased and the rulers depraved. Filth was described as having "artistic merit" and the country was wallowing in its own manure. Ancient Rome and the pagans had come back to life. The mad Nero who had fiddled while Rome burned was back; dressed in judicial robes and now staging a play at court called "The Constitution is a living tree." A judge likened the court process to a "psychodrama, with "actors or judges," and said "judges have to command a certain degree of respect, or it’s chaos, and the whole system falls apart." He was a prophet in his own time and the system had fallen "apart" and become "chaos" as he had said. Rather than a psychodrama, many people believed some in the judicial court needed to see a psychiatrist; how else could one explain the "reading in" of words that were not written in the Constitution. No wonder people criticized them. They were seeing things or perhaps hallucinating; poor things, they obviously needed help. But no one had the courage to remove them because the judiciary was "independent" and making the law. It was proposed that men should be able to marry men and women be able to marry women or any other combination that could be approved by judges and politicians. But there was the usual party poopers: some people who loved animals claimed they were being discriminated against. They said they were in loving relationships as well and wondered why they were being left out. Some threatened to go to the "human rights" commission. These animal lovers were told that change had to be incremental and that the people could only accept one perversion at a time. But not to worry their time would come and that the Charter of Rights mandated equality. After much discussion the animal lovers accepted this explanation but said please make us your next priority. Meanwhile they were told to write their M.P.’s and to tell all the politicians about their concerns. The politicians were masses of shaking jelly, impersonating people. They stood for nothing and legitimized everything. Their house on the Hill was a present day bedlam. Bedlam was another word meaning madhouse and the lunatics were legislating. This was a country with a "Charter of Rights and Freedoms" and its descent into madness was a success. Stephen Gray graysinfo@telus.net website  http://www.oocities.org/graysinfo January 1, 2003.
