I think we now have unequivocal proof of it’s fallacy.

1. Alfie Evans
To me this is a worst case scenario. The boys is trying to survive. The Dad is fighting for his Sons right to try and survive and the doctors having not been able to diagnose him have said he’s more than likely to die and so should therefore be injected with a lethal injection.
This is infanticide. The legal killing of one of our own by our government, enforced by police against the wishes of a family.
This is an execution and it’s legal. That’s a problem. All the rules in the rule book should be aimed towards helping a family survive not destroying it.
When the Dads said during one appeal to the judge “We need to bring some humanity and common sense to this case.”
The judge replied by saying “Do not assume a moral high ground in this court that is treacherous terrain. Be a barrister.” I read between the lines there and hear “Stop being sensible and leave behind any reason. We are here to be ruthless. Not fair or good.”
2. Parenting
This has become a minefield fraught with bullshit now and yes some good advances in medical care but the rule book is once again being so thorough it has become useless and it’s riddled with abuse of it.
‘Deal with the system from within’ is a common comment I’ve heard over the years but the average person can’t effect the system other than by voting (which would perhaps effect some change half a decade from now) or complaining and that itself is a logistical nightmare. Witness the problems Alfies Dads had.
The system is set up to protect the rule book and the rule book is flawed.
I’ve had a judge apologize to me in court for making a decision about my daughter that he did not want to but had to due to the law of the land. I asked my solicitor at the time if I had any recourse to appeal and he said simply no, not in a matter such as this. I was impotent to effect any change and the judge felt bad for having to rule against me due to the law.
I’ve had police and social services workers say to me far too much while I begged for some commone sense ‘We’re just doing our job and the rules are the rules’.
For me that’s not good enough. Rules do not stand on their own two feet. They are weilded by those in power against those who are not.

10. Conclusion
It is time for either a soft revolution and a striking down of many laws to re-start, never anarchy, so if not a soft revoltuion then a massively accelerated change. The people want power back. It’s already too far to the right and no one can see it yet. It’s there in the air though.
But community spirit and the lobestone of humanity is fighting back to have a sensible status quo. Unlike world leaders. But this is heartening as it shows that there is hope. If the people could take back yet more control. This is not an advocacy for socialism but realityism. Like off the high horses for a minute.
We are now eveolved enough to re-write the whole rule book. We could have a massive international conference spread over a year in Switzerland and then agree on a way forward, five years from now once polls had been taking along with any and all suggestions for a joint path forward… Is that naive, why?!
Why not? We have the UN and a digital platform that could take votes/opinions and polls from a vast majority of humanity, so once again, why not? This current madness is just that, madness.
