"Natural Law" ? The natural man does not receive the things of the spirit of God.

Paul writes in 1st

Corinthians...
The reference has nothing to do with natural law. It refers to natural man with no relationship to
common law/scientific law/divine law whatever you choose to call it. The passages in Roman's refers
to your carnal nature.
In the 1700's before government established the political judicial system, it was the clergy who served
as judges. They were so skilled at listening to arguments that they were very prestigious and it was the
beginning of a documented system of case law. All the judgements were meticulously written down for
future reference. The body of precedents they produced became the law of common usage, aka
common law. They were Christian clergyman.
And just like DOTs the Christian clergy men ran into a problem. The disputes between people were
from different religions and communities. So they had to find biblical principles that were common to
all religions AND BY GOLLY THEY DID.
Early common law had no connection to government. NONE! The clergy man couldn't order the local
police precinct to go down and arrest anybody. No police, no troppos to enforce d

Pailin et al. Thanks for being good sports and giving it a shot. Like I said, I like the way you think,
good sense, live below your means, eliminate debt. Your knowledge of the art world is enviable and
sound thinking but beyond may pay level to get up to speed at this juncture of my life.

Gunther...right on! But maybe the cheerleading is useful as a contrary indicator. The crowd rarely gets
it right and maybe the usefulness of any forum is to identify these pockets of group think that exit. The
article says that the established financial experts didn't get it right, shy's away from those who thought
they knew better than those who should know, really didn't. And basically amounts to , we will be
victorious in the end, heralded as financial hero's who saw the future better than anybody else ra, ra, ra,
ra etc, etc, etc, etc... Probably good to keep a forum alive type filler but not much more. Being right
years early in my book is not right at all.

Securi-D As I said, I'm not taking MA or anybodies predictions on the future as gospel. Being
uncertain about what is uncertain seems rather normal. But for lack of other people discussing these
realities, I think one has to either find good reasons to eliminate them and if one can't do it, consider
them in your future planning. Armstrong perssonality is immaterial to me. I do like AM's
multiuniverse analysis, I just can't get a handle on what are the various universes that could be
explored.

Suffice to say, cash is king for me. I will keep an eye on prices and I'm certain some really low prices
will compel me to start buying.
