>>>>Is there anything moral about a man who refuses to support a moral law ???

America’s prosperity is based on the fact that Americans have a historic tradition of observing the rule of law. The reason why Mexico is poor, is because they have a historical tradition of disregarding the rule of law.

If America was to adopt the Mexican culture of disregarding the rule of law, America would become as poor as Mexico. If Mexico was to adopt a tradition of the rule of law, they would become as rich as America.

The rule of law is what makes America’s capitalist system to work. The enforcement of business contracts, an impartial judiciary, honest police officers - none of these would exist if there was no rule of law.

I wanted to repeat that, because it was a brilliant post.

Mexicans are Americans--Central Americans. Many of us on this board are citizens of the United States of America.
