LAST DITCH OF DEMOCRACY - Majority Rights

I propose to consider the statements in the King James version, taking
them at their F ace value. I ask you to note what you are told in your
Bibles. For the moment let us confine ourselves to the two sections,
namely the Old Testament and the Gospels, leaving aside the questions
concerning St. Paul.
Now the Old Testament is a collection of heteroclite work, chronicles,
psalms, prophecies, and ecciesiastes. And the Chronicles record the
doings of a thoroughly disgusting race of barbarians.
The prophets ceased not to object to the conduct of the coreligionaries.
You will perhaps say that all dirty barbarians were at that time much of a
muchness.
However, there was a fellow named Pericles, there was a fellow named
Aristotle, there were various writers, such as Homer and Hesiod. And
they built up a European Code. In fact, European civilization, and as
much of it as has infiltrated into the outlying Islands, islands lying off
the North West corner of Europe, such of it as has been trapsed over the
North American continent. People taking grand pianos, and little plaster
busts of Mozart and Haydn across the Mississippi River and into the
Michigan pine woods.
This CIVILIZATION sprouted in the Mediterranean basin. And this
civilization had ENEMIES external and internal. Barbarian tribes beat
against its margins, and corruptors infiltrated into it, just as they have in
filtrated into the United States of America for the past hundred or 160
years.
ALL right, now what does your Bible tell you about SOCIAL
organization? It tells you the Jews went into captivity, that is, into a state
wherein they had NO CIVIC responsibility, in great part a slave
condition. As to their own organization it consisted in what still survives
in the kahal sys tem. There was a LAW, NOT an ethical system. This law
