"These measures are a blatant injustice, a parallel legal system operating without the defences available in criminal law, that can inflict ruinous and open-ended costs. They amount to a system of private fines, to be levied at will and out of the blue against political opponents"

George Monbiot on the increasing use of civil injunctions by companies against climate protesters and the implications for all of us.

How people pick and choose which #Bible verses to take literally, which to enforce as #civillaw, tells us more about the person, than about God's will. The #Torah indeed is religiously amazing - but #fundamentalism combined with unexamined #prejudice (which we all have) prevents us from understanding it.
So on a related note, how do #Jewish people read the Torah?

And that project was short, but soon I got on a new project, which lasted longer & I had more involvement.

That was an #AntiTrust case (during the heyday of int'l cartel investigations by DOJ). I didn't know anything about American law, or Japanese law for that matter. But I loved the concept of #CommonLaw. Compared with #CivilLaw, it's structure reflects changes in the society more in the bottom-up way.

> The US #ConferenceOfBishops has urged that the federal #MinimumWage be increased, for the working poor. #Santorum in the Senate repeatedly voted against the minimum wage..
> A flourishing #Catholic community contributed to social debates and so improved American democracy– witness #DorothyDay and the #CatholicWorker movement.
> .. the arguments .. about the balance between #conscience and the #obligations of #CivilLaw should be welcomed..
