Law

Know your rights.  Study The Constitution.  Study The Charter of Rights & Freedoms.  Any legal manipulation that is added on top of that understanding is corruption.  Just because something is "the law" doesn't make it right, ethical, moral, or humane.  Just because Obama calls you a terrorist doesn't make you one (but the law says it does).  This is legal trickery to create a dictatorship.

Here are the most important ones to remember:  We have the freedom of free speech.  We have the freedom of peaceful assembly.  When these rights are threatened, we loose our humanity.

Understand the difference between the two kinds of law (land/water, civil/UCC).  The Law & Commerce portion of Hijacking of Humanity illustrates how citizens have been tricked into becoming employees of a corrupt corporation, giving up their rights and freedoms.  Do not be tricked into giving your rights away, or only consciously choose which rights you are willing to give away for some benefits that you may receive.

If only certain people can manipulate the law for their own benefits (like the trillion dollar bailout of the banks), and brainwash you through the media to accept it because they own the corporations, then that is not an ethical legal system.  You must take a stand to all laws that are unethical, immoral, fraudulent, or inhumane (e.g., torture -- as an example of legal trickery, the US government now "outsources" torture to criminals in third-world countries so they can claim that they don't torture).

Know the best practices for dealing with police and security.  Flex Your Rights!

If you work in the legal profession, don't defend people who you know are deliberately fraudulent.  Work for people, not for companies.  Work for charities, not for government.  Have your clients be as efficient as possible, even if it means you make less money.  Don't make things complicated when they can be simple.  Be more compassionate than intelligent.  Support the spirit of the law, instead of the technicalities of law.
