10-11-02 The Civic Duties of the Common Person in the Robber Baron Revival Era
FROM THE LAWSTER DISCUSSION GROUP
Janet:
You are deluded if you believe that anybody could help in these matters within any reasonable time.
Instead, you should continue to write, publish...
The civic duty of the common person in the Robber Baron Revival Era is to document what is
happening under our watch. In previous periods, records were kept mostly by government and the
powers that be. People like Howard Zinn revolutionized the field with his "People's History of the United
States".
However, today, it is much easier to create records of the abuse.
Keep up the good job!

In quick succession, the probate attorney then evicted his own brother from a home
that the dad had granted the brother prior to the initiation of the conservatorship. The
brother has a wife and three small children, the youngest of whom is not quite two.
Adding injury to more injury, the probate attorney then garnished the wages of the
now homeless brother's wife, in order to pay his attorney fees.
The family thinks the dad is going to be dead in no time. The judges have been
cleared of conscience...they have had their consciences removed and replaced by
dollar signs. What I am so concerned about is that the legal reform community
doesn't seem to respond much better.
I can get no one to help me with my case and the people I am in touch with, my ever
growing pool of victims, find at best an attorney to hire who stabs them in the back.
I go to these movies, particularly the vampire movies, like daybreakers, to get a feel
for the metaphysic of our times. Over and over again I see the same theme
emerging...something has happened to people and there are those among us who will
now eat us for lunch. Or more aptly, perhaps, for a few bucks.
