Re: Do you feel harrased?
Take the time to look at it from their viewpoint.
This Freeman on the Land movement is a protest against, what they consider, breaches of all our civil liberties.
Their argument is that many of our laws today are 'statute laws' which have never been voted on in parliament.
Their policy is an attempt to detatch themselves from jurisdiction under statute laws and to depend only on basic common law.
I am not a technical expert, but if laws aren't voted in by MPs why can they be applied?
Unlike the poll tax rioters, these young men are challenging the laws peacefully, in a way that worked for Ghandi - peaceful non-cooperation.
I can understand why they feel the need to do this.
We are aware of the way our society is becoming very '1984'.
This is their (peaceful) way of protesting against that.
