Beware?

Do you even understand what a koan is and how it's used? Or the purpose of the question... 'What is the sound of one hand clapping?'?

"In a courtroom you would only represent one side of the case."

That's more than evident... and it is a side that most often has gone without fair representation. The blindfold of Lady Justice was yanked off by the courts of man some time ago!

I'm wondering... do you also believe that U.S. Treaties should be violated?

As for the courts of man... there are other forms of justice...

"Justice is a whore that won't let herself be stiffled, and collects the wages of shame even from the poor."
~ Karl Kraus (1874-1936)

"Also, there have been extinctions of animals (the type you can eat) long before the pilgrims settled on this continent such as the giant tortoise. It was bigger than the Galapagos tortoise. Fossil remians tell us that they were turned upside down and cooked."

Interesting that you should bring up a tortoise... as in land turtle.

Have you ever heard of Turtle Island?

Turtle

Protection

Many tribal creation stories say that earth was born on the back of Turtle. Since it carries its home on its back, it has also been recognized as having the ability to "manage" in difficult circumstances. Some folk tales say that if a turtle is flipped over, it cannot right itself and will eventually die. This however is not necessarily true, the strong neck muscles that Turtle possesses can flip Turtle upright. Turtle has good hearing and can sense movement in the water through the membranes in the skin. Turtle even has a sense of smell and pretty good eyesight, reminding us not to judge any of our relations by outward appearances.

"Live in harmony with nature and you will live in subjugation to it."

Not everyone believes that they were kicked out of The Garden... or harbors the delusion that they can conquer nature. Those who believe that we can survive without living in harmony with nature have no understanding of the balancing principals of the Universe.
