It is strange how our social system has been enronized. We have been
mentioning about the endemic wrongs of the Free Market, but this
Free Market philosophy has spread out in every facet of our lives.
There is no such a thing as a Free Market, as this entails the
exercise to make money with money for the people who have money. So,
it is as to say that there is no justice.
I remember at one time talking to a Regina lawyer about the wrong
doing I endured as one business contract was violated by the other
party only to be told that he couldn't take my case because he
couldn't control me. Here we have lawyers who are supposed to be
part of the justice system and instead they have become part of the
controlling social regime.
The Yorkton This Week has run two articles this week on SGI
automobile insurance. The first article mentions how SGI president
Larry Fogg showed his pleasure as SGI was now able to provide both
No Fault and Tort automobile insurance. Fogg said "We feel we are
in a position where we can offer Tort, which is really the Premier
Option of the Coalition Against No Fault Insurance."
In the second article, Lorie Terry, spokesperson for the
Coalition Against No Fault, is quoted stating "we are happy that
they are using our ideas, but they seem to have taken them and
basically castrated them... The time has come that insurance
companies found out they can't control everything."
This is the problem, instead to provide for the insurance needs
of Saskatchewan drivers, SGI's emphasis is on controlling expenses,
controlling inhumane rehabilitation programs, and spying on their
injured victims.
So our social justice doesn't address the democratic needs of the
citizens anymore, and in fact our social justice has been castrated
to become the controlling medium of the Free Market.
