144. To paraphrase John Adams
Were he alive today he might say that " we are no longer a nation of laws. We are a nation of men."

Justice is equally applied or it is not justice. The rich get away criminal acts daily and while bombing is indefensible, it does illuminate the growing chasm between how the rich are preferentially treated and how the rest of us are told to suck it. The belief that the rich are writing the law so that their criminal behavior is no longer criminal by legislative edict has validity. One is not a criminal if one writes the laws in such a way that one is exempted from jurisprudence.

I believe you may actually believe that the law treats the rich as the rest of us.
