How much more natural is that? The human body has a built in measuring
device. You dont need no goddamn slide rules and computers to determine
the earth's rotation or any of that nonsense. Just use the FEET that you
got when you were born.

However, if you want to cheat, and measure 60 inches with your tape
measure, you have a 15 hand horse. (5 foot tall). One hand is considered
to be 4 inches.

If I want to measure walkable distances without tools, which occasionally happens, I use yards or metres. Human feet are seldom a foot long.

Don't think I ever met a grown person with 4" hands.

I always wondered who's feet they used to develop the original foot (as
in 12"). Human feet vary greatly in size. Of course children have
shorter feet and women usually do also. Adult males usually
have feet as close to 12" as possible.
In my case, I wear a size 11 shoe. My feet measure 10 5/8" from heel to
tip of longest toe. To measure something with my feet, I'm best off
doing it with my shoes on. They are very close to 12" on the outside. Of
course that too depends on the type of shoe or boot. My big old heavy
winter boots are over 13", but well insulated.

I met a guy once who needs size 15 shoes. Them are some big honking
feet!!! He had to go to a special store to buy shoes.

That's Correct.

BTW
In metric, my size 11 shoes would be 27.94cm (28cm). That seems totally
awkward.....

But then there are men who prefer to measure their male organ in metric,
because the number is larger, they seem to think it makes them sound
more masculine. So the average 6" penis is now a 15.24cm penis...
I'm sorry to say, but it's the same damn size, and it wont impress the
women any more !!!

About a decade ago, I was told that in Ireland the road distances are posted in km whilst the speed limits are given in mph. When I asked a few years ago, I was assured that this was still true. However, from my point of view, this is just hearsay since I have not actually witnessed it.

The Magna Carta was written between the lesser and the greater nobles - and had very damned little to do with the serfs. Keep that in mind. Just as the US constitution was written by and for white property-owners - those able to vote at the time.

We have this naive way of re-writing history and taking older information and applying it to situations to which it is neither sensitive nor does it apply. For the edification of Old School, The American Constitution (and American Law as it derives from it) was and is based on English Law (as compared to Roman Law, subsequently, Napoleonic Law), and the Magna Carta is the first inkling of that. And, the bedrock of English Law is the principle that *What is not Forbidden, is Permitted". This is the direct opposite of Roman Law. And the 9th & 10 amendments in the Bill of Rights is the direct expression of this. Please note:

The US Constitution does not speak to:
Homosexuality
Marriage
The National Flag
Abortion
Transgenders
Made in USA

nor many of the other red-meat neo-con issues of the present day. By direct application of Constitutional Principles, all of the above are entirely of no consequence within the context of the Social Contract. I suggest you read your Locke.

For what it's worth, the United States has the longest-lived continuous government in the world - for the moment. And, please do not give me crap about England. The British government of today is nothing like it was under George III.

You must be a very happy individual.

In 1215:

Nobles and the Church held 75% of the land in England, and were less than 1% of the population.

As follows:

Class Holdings % of Population

Nobles & Church 75% 0.1%
Freemen 19% 10%
Villiens 1% 41%
Bordars 5% 32% (House-Villiens more-or-less)
Slaves 0% 7%

Now, let's see some more blather about how the Magna Carta was such a wonderful document when it applied to less than 11% of the population. Seminal, perhaps. But as written and as applied at the time, it kept the villiens in their place and the landowners in theirs.

Taking things out of context and in what appears to be complete ignorance of historical conditions and facts generally not a good practice.

I do not think so. "Freeman" was a specific term-of-art at the time (the Latin liber homo) meaning an individual unencumbered by servitude or obligations to a lord or land-owner. NOT a serf (Villien), House-Serf (Bordar) or slave. Freemen could own land, farm it in their own right, 'own' villiens, even Bordars and slaves. Villiens, Bordars or slaves could not and were obligated to their lords.

A Villien was, by definition, not free, but a Freeman could descend into Villieny by loss-of-land or position.

The Magna-Carta as a great emancipation document is wishful thinking. It was a brilliant move by Henry III to define, solidify and enhance his power by seeming to give up something he did not want and did not affect him in any case. Latter day interpretations are much as latter-day interpretations of the US Constitution - as justifications for laws and behaviors that would have evolved in any case and/or would be self-evident were issues of politics, race, class and religion not contaminating human behavior.

Note that Henry lasted 52 years after the latest version of the MC was signed (by him) in 1225. A long time, indeed.

800 years later, that remains debatable. But, under the law-as-an-ideal, sure. As-practiced, not so much unless one is a white male, reasonably well-off and a property owner that votes. As to that latter, and votes per the instructions of the inimitable Alphonse Gabriel Capone - early and often.

The advantage to English Law is that it allows multiple parties and opinions to coexist as it requires compromise in order to function at all.

Israel did it's best to copy all the mistakes and disadvantages of the
British parliamentary system in 1948. For example, Britain has 650
members of parliament and about 10 active political parties.
http://www.parliament.uk/mps-lords-and-offices/mps/current-state-of-the-parties/
The Israeli Knesset has 120 seats, 17 parties with seats, and a huge
number of minor parties that appear and disappear as the crisis of the
day warrants.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_political_parties_in_Israel
Anything worth doing is worth over-doing. Perhaps if Israel increases
the number of seats in the Knesset, the number of parties might
decrease?

Incidentally, Israel has been debating the merits of having or not
having a written constitution since 1950.

70 successful years without a written constitution seems to indicate
that the situation will be permanent. Sorry, but no duels are
currently scheduled in order to settle the matter.

That's not a constitution.

sure it is. It may only have one useful provision, but it's the most important one possible, and is the legal & human rights foundation on which modern Britain exists.
