Law & Order America

 

The United States of America prides itself on being a country that is full of law-abiding citizens, and when laws are broken that JUSTICE IS BLIND...  that is to say everyone is treated equally under the law.

HOWEVER...

most of us who are fortunate enough to live to the age of 40 and beyond, come to realize that AMERICAN LAW is not equally applied, and that JUSTICE IS NOT BLIND.

For instance...

• The law is applied differently to white citizens than it is to black citizens.
• Wealthy people can hire better lawyers than poor people can, so the law is applied differently.
• The law is applied differently to sons and daughters of elected officials with the understanding that the higher the elected position, the more legal protection one has.
• If you are super wealthy, the odds are the law does not really apply to you at all...  although, there are some exceptions.
• Illegal immigration is a new approach on how the laws of the USA are not applied equally.
• In small towns in the SOUTH, the laws are applied differently to locals and those passing through.
• We also have knowledge of building inspectors taking bribes so that the building codes can be over-looked.
• We all know that law enforcement breaks the law all the time, in order to catch criminals.
• Recently, the law has been used to try and stop a political opponent, which is a new twist on how differently the law is applied.

America is a country full of laws, that are broken all the time by its citizens...  so much so, that it is almost laughable that we call ourselves a country of LAWS.
