The Seeds of
Self-Destruction
Uncontrolled self-aggrandizement leads to injury,
exploitation, anarchy and war. Governance should set restraints upon the scope
of people's actions.
The
Principle of Non-Injury
Good Governance assures every citizen
protection from all forms of harm, exploitation and oppression by others.
Protection
without Oppression.
Good Governance is limited to, and defined by its
role of Protection.
Extension of power beyond that role becomes Oppression.

If any man, any woman, acquires or is
granted power over any other or others, this will – not may, but most
certainly and surely will – lead to abuse, misuse, corruption and oppression.
The only Power that is competent and can be trusted to regulate the affairs
of community and society is the Power of Principle, the Principle that in the
pursuit of self-improvement and the exercise of liberty, no-one should injure
or exploit others.
This Principle of Non-Injury is neutral and impersonal. It is a shield,
protecting from injury, preventing injury.
Legislators hold no arbitrary or discretionary power. They are simply
Interpreters, applying the Principle in terms of everyday events and actions.
The process of Interpretation is clearly delineated and circumscribed. If
there is Injury, there must be Protection. If there is no Injury, then there
is neither cause nor justification for the interference of law and the
exercise of its power.
Power:
Our
Magnificent Obsession.
