Reply #84: tell the rulers that

[William Z. Foster]

I agree with you 100% - go tell the rulers that. Don't lecture the public, who are rightfully demanding that the government for once act in our behalf.

No one is saying the law should not be followed. What we are saying is that this "there needs to be a law" and "there are limits" idea, inserted into this discussion at this time for the purpose of beating back calls for government intervention in the management of this catastrophe (which would of course be appropriate, and legal) are not really about the law, but are defenses for the privatization of the management of the catastrophe.
