Are all individuals in a society considered potential offenders?

What did I notice in that statement from this House of Commons Hansard Debate for 08 Oct 2007 (pt 0020)?

"I particularly welcome the announcement by my right hon. Friend the Lord High Chancellor on homophobic hatred. Provisions in a Bill previously brought into play in Northern Ireland will today send a strong message to society that homophobic hate crimes are not acceptable in a modern-day society."

Send a strong message to society that homophobic hate crimes are not acceptable in a modern-day society? To send a strong message to society? Does society need messages? Messages on how to act and behave? Doesn't society know that acts against other individuals do not befit a human individual? Does it need any message, from anyone, on how to act and behave?

And in that publication of RoSPA, the royal society for the prevention of accidents, I read:

"Many such cases have been highlighted in the media which has contributed to a public perception that it is possible to ‘get away’ with dangerous and lethal behaviour on the road."

Public perception? Public, for everyone of us, every individual in a society, ubiquitous and universal. Our common and shared perception, which we use to direct and unfold our lives, its sole criterion is 'how to get away'? All the values we hold and cherish are reduced to that primary objective, 'to get away'.

How low have they put public perception. In what little regard do they hold public perception. Where each individual is considered a potential offender, or may be even, forget about potential but plainly an offender, a perpetrator. That every individual's main concern is how to 'get away', that each one of us has in mind to pillage, kill, maim and commit acts against the welfare of other individuals as long as they can 'get away'.

I find that degrading for society, for any society and reveals the mentality of the law makers and governing bodies. They are engrossed in a mind frame, a mindset so overriding they can not get away from.

The laws and rules are there because the collective mind of the individuals in the society have brought them forth and not because of some sublime enlightened mind thought them. Parliamentarians and other individuals in government bodies, are servants to the society that put them there. They were not voted or assigned to be masters and overseers of the society.

Neither in society nor in the public perception, 'to get away' is a guiding principle or in need to be taught a lesson. It is for the very few in society who stray from the rest that the laws are for. The values and respect for each other, of individuals in a society, are strong enough to need any laws to be uphold.

Your place is to follow the guidelines as given by society and not to make the guidelines for the society to follow, you are individuals in the society as everyone else and as any other individual in a society, the models you built to make sense out of the world are simplified models.
