I remember from an interview of a Philippines' presidential candidate some years ago.

He said "Power is Right".

And "If the laws does not work for us, then we make new laws that will work (for us)".

I thought about that for a long while and reluctantly agreed, after thinking about "traditions, human rights, and justice".

But I hold the Buddha's Siila:

--- the right to life for all beings (not just human)

--- the right to life supporting properties

--- the right to family and social associations

--- the right to true information and honest choice

--- the wrong of external excuses

The Siila is much more advanced than the UN human rights and UN animal rights.

The Siila is a stronger foundation for law and governance.

From the Siila: Justice is in the middle (unbiased)!
