The battle against the surreal governance by adhesion contracts of the housing industry

Lest we forget - "suing people" is supposed to be about getting a jury to decide matters which citizens disagree upon. This is how our society is supposedly "civilized".

It is supposedly almost this simple:

Demanding a Jury trial costs $20 down at the county courthouse (Bexar, Texas), you fill out the forms and pay your fee, then you supposedly wait for your case to appear on the court dockets for the trial date. Then you get to pick from the jury pool and seat a jury to hear the case. You present your case and the defendant(s) presents theirs. Then the jury leaves the courtroom with the evidence you present, and they decide on the matter(s). They reach a verdict, and the case is settled.

Typically this should not take more than six months. But due to the overwhelming number of contracts that the developers of our society have promulgated upon the masses, this seemingly simple process has become an unusable, expensive and not-so-secretly corrupt brotherhood of litigation mafia who fund the coffers of the TV election adds, and use mass media to spam our countryside with their candidate name recognition so that the hypnotized will vote for whatever name they recognize when the 5% who vote show up at the polls on "election day".

"Civilization" cannot rely on this kind of "civil court system" to maintain a civilized society for long.

I rode the litigation vortex for just over two years and was kicked to the curb. That was my first rodeo in this venue, and from the looks of things it will not be my last.

To all you amazing people out there who've been on the litigation vortex ride for over seven years, you are approaching the magical eight year mark. CONGRATULATIONS!!! You just may get a score by Jury.

Just thought I'd share this insight with y'all.

"Rodeo" - It costs $20 to get a chance to ride a bull for 8 seconds in a rodeo. If ya make it 8 seconds, then you get the judges to give you a score - and a chance to win the kitty (over half of the money from the entry fees go to the riders for prizes - the rest goes to the rodeo production company). It's all over by the time the lights go out that night. Each day dawns a new chance to win the gold - if you can pay to enter the game.

"Civil Justice" - In the court system - it costs you $20 get a jury trial. But until the trial date, it costs you $200 an hour for each lawyer to attend countless depositions, write up countless summary judgments and defenses against summary judgments, motions for continuance, motion to forgive for being sick and not making it to the courthouse for a trial date, etc. etc. etc. - so by the time you finally get that elusive Jury Trial, it's been eight years sentence in that emotional gas chamber of an Homeowner Association Contract-dispute spawned lawsuit against the benevolent Non-Profit corporation called a "homeowners association".

If I could single-handedly incite 100,000 to simultaneously overtake the "bad" Homeowners Associations in America, I would do it - make no mistake that I am enraged by this HOA quagmire I woke up in.

The guilty - people like Senator John Carona and his Community Associations Insttute CAI ilk - would (after that insurrection mentioned above) be held until trial for their part in overthrow of this country.

The problem with anarchy is - the onset of anarchy is typically some
catastrophic cataclysm of outrage - that pours out suddenly from an oppressed majority.

We may be several years from this outbreak. If I could predict the future - I would tell you when it will happen. The stage is set to wake up the hypnotized millions who are in this Matrix-like scene where the big developers have conscripted them into eternal servitude with an adhesion contract.

When they come out of their comatose slumber - be prepared is what we all should be.

Our country has lost our state constitutions - as they've been undermined by the housing industry which spawns bigger and more unconstitutional contracts with every new neighborhood. Our society is shifting into this surreal governance by contract - day by day. DO THE MATH!!!
