This is the best description of the situation I have read. Ayn Rand had a lot to say about the danger of "nonobjective laws" that undermine the rule of law and make everyone a criminal. Once everyone is a "criminal" and the law is only the word of the biggest criminal to get control of the system, you are well on the way to a totalitarian state.

Our system is best described as a cleptocracy, where wealth and favors are distributed to the most vocal special interest goup of the moment. That these same people want to enforce "justice" and "fairness" is laughable double-speak.

Ah Wilhelm, I always knew I would be in the minority on this great free wheeling site(hope that will temper a few flames). Last time was when I felt the Cuban lad should be re-united with his natural father. Boy, was I ever in the minority. Oh well..... I like your carefully thought out rebuttals. I will now resort to the oldest of all rebuttals.

Let he who is without sin, cast the last stone. A bit weak but at least I gave it a try.
