The California Law Revision Commission (CLRC), Numerology and the Hartford Syndrome
If this is what we can do to 17 attorneys, guess what we can do to average Joe Homeowner?
June 7, 2008
The California Law Revision Commission (CLRC) regularly sounds like a Homeowners Association board of directors, blaming homeowners for the Hartford Syndrome – In a hit-and-run incident May 30, 2008, a resident is left to die, while Hartford residents stood by - responsible for the malaise du jour.
For example, the president of the CZ Master Association recently blamed the lack of direct popular elections on the legislature because of loopholes contained in legislation mandating direct elections in common interest developments, failing to mention that her board had taken advantage of such loopholes to maintain the status quo. Other members of the board argued against direct elections due to apathetic residents.
Likewise the CLRC has been rationalizing its approach to AB1921, which Vanitzian calls a mistake and “.. shatters the American dream for millions of residential deed-restricted property owners and many believe that the California Law Revision Commission has exceeded its jurisdiction”, in her response to Response to Memorandum 2008-12 Opposition to Assembly Bill 1921.” The response from the CLRC is along the lines of “the bill has been out there for more than two years, homeowners are simply apathetic”. However, there is no mention of the chastising 17 attorneys have received at the hands of the CLRC who dared to speak against AB1921. The message sent out loud and clear by the CLRC is: If this is what we can do to 17 attorneys, guess what we can do to average Joe Homeowner?
Either out of desperation, wishful thinking or boredom, the number 17- as in the number of attorneys who dared to speak up against AB1921- caught our attention, and we turned to numerology: Is there a hidden meaning in the number 17? – It turns out that 17 is a very special number, as it carries the same meaning as the seventh prime number - Prime numbers carry a hidden meaning which is the same meaning as the number of their order in the list of primes. And since numbers can also declare a meaning from their appearance or arrangement, 17 portrays the number 7 (perfection) standing before the number 1 (Creator). As a prime number, 17 is divisible only by itself, so it speaks of single-minded worship of the Creator. Its sum [8] portrays eternity - new birth and perfection of spirit - because this figure has neither beginning nor ending and initiates a new series (after seven).
What we can glean from the 17 attorneys standing up to the CLRC and their behind the scenes industry supporters who use the CLRC as their personal un-registered lobbyists is that they are on the verge of self-destruction. Perhaps AB1921 is the triggering event? After all, no one else will do it, given that homeowners are apathetic – Hartford Syndrome
