Most people have it all wrong. The “Rule of Law†doesn’t mean that laws apply to common folk. Heck, even North Koreans have that. Rule of Law means that nobody, especially among the ruling class, is above the law.
The principle is that the greater the power, the greater the danger; so the greater the accountability. Consequences are greater when rulers make mistakes, or commit crimes, so we have constitutions as a leash on politicians, not on us regular humans.
Here in the “Land of the Free†every day, ordinary folks are arrested, tased, beaten, imprisoned and shot for a lot less than what investigators say Hillary did. We can be jailed for all manner of harmless activities like smoking marijuana, selling fresh milk, or keeping a pet owl…with or without criminal intent.
That’s wrong in itself, of course. But we’re supposed to have a classless society, where all are equal under the law; and endangering national security is actually considered a bad thing to do.
We’re past-due for a major revolution on at least the order of the Civil Rights Movement, Women’s Suffrage, or the end of Prohibition. Our crony network politician/ puppet-master scheme has become a global crime ring where the financial costs are spilling onto our great-grandchildren, and where the death toll is both unnecessary, and tragically high. The corruption must end.
Election Day was intended as a means of peaceful revolution; a day on which We The People can readjust, reorder, or completely overthrow the government and install a new one that better suits our desires for peace, prosperity, security and freedom.
And that is what some of us are putting on the ballot – a better way forward to peace, prosperity, security and (it’s about time don’t you think?) freedom.
