PREAMBLE

Considering that violence and intelligence gave mankind the first place in the
food chain and that denial is the main cause of unresolved problems,
Noting that man, despite the fact that he is endowed with intelligence, he
often acts instinctually creating disasters and tragedies,
Noting that mans lack of responsibility in his relation with the environment
and his tendency towards an irrational consumption of resources can lead to the
extinction of other species, including the human species,
Considering the survival of the human species prior to other interests,
Considering the law a support for achieving and maintaining the balance in
society and the capacity of the human nature to be brought up as being underused,
Noting that the man lacking opportunities and equal chances for personal
development has a tendency to commit crimes,
Noting that taking up positions in society, on criteria that do not include
competence, leads to tragedy and major disruptions in the harmonious
development of society,
Considering mans criminal and antisocial behaviour as a serious disturbing
element in creating and maintaining balance in society,
Considering prevention as an essential component in reducing crime and
antisocial acts,
Considering competition as a source of development and empathy as a key
for conflict resolution,
Noting the lack of an effective means of holding parents responsible or, when
applicable, childrens legal representatives, regarding their education and the
inability of certain teachers to share successfully their knowledge to children,
Considering that Romania's future can be assured by intelligent, strong,
balanced and research-oriented people who show respect for the environment and
their peers,
Having faith in the value of the human being and the capacity of the human
nature to be brought up, I propose for debate and approval the law STAN,
designed to make Romania, by improving the quality of the human resources
and the development of competition, one of the most competitive countries in
the world.
