"Law" vs. "Gun"??
Both within nations, and outside nations on this planet, this is the issue!. All world citizens are frustrated because there is no effective international "law" to help us find the "vanished Red Eye Flite". There is no international "law" that binds the likes of Putin to anyone (except himself and his cronies). Within the AMERICAS, the LAW, since 1492 has been whatever the most dominant rich, white, male, and religiously-powerful males say it is. NOTE TO ROMNEY: Knock off your "jingo" dog-whistles to your Mad, Hard-, Right, Cracker-Mindset adherents: THE AMERICAN PEOPLE include ALL citizens of North America, South America, and Central America.
For those who crave empire, the gun is the ultimate law. In a materialist world, you can only "own" what you can keep by force. In our National Security Strucsture of 1948, we included a Defense Department (formerly a War Department) -- for "guns"; and a State Department (in our early years as a nation, the U.S. Navy performed that function, because then, as now, Command of Sea Lanes was essential).
We are persistently, and peculiarly, a deeply rascist nation (from our early founders to this day); we have corrupted these institutions as we spread our internally-perfected, institutionalized racism abroad. The "chickens" are coming home this early in the 21st century. Cheney/Bush/Rumsfeld put the final, perhaps fatal,stress on our Defense as a nation; when they, for the first time in our history, cut taxes while in the midst of launching long costly international wars. They may have "destroyed" armed defense as a viable concept. Our South-by-Southwest "Katzenjammers" in our Senate (McCain and Graham) are pitiful remnants of this dangerous bunch.
To a Bush: "Law" is Stand-Your-Ground (go hunting for unarmed black males in our streets).
To our Supreme Court: "Law" is whatever Hard-Right "Bull-Sh*t" they can pass.
To members of the Cracker-MindSet: "law" is still the white, male, U.S. citizen.
Holder or Gonzales? Take your pick, if you think "Law" is our Attorney General (at the Federal Level).
In Our States: "Law" is whatever our encroaching "Red" Governors can get their legislatures to pass.
To Federal Attorneys in our nation: (Christie was one; enough said?)
The world is in a "pickle"; from Putin abroad to Christie at home. "Law" becomes more meaningless every day. The Ultimate "Lawless" ?? Large Corporations (everywhere); Organized Crime (everywhere); and your foamin'-at'the-mouth neighbor (white, male, any age) with a "gun".
Stay Vigilant! Pull your head (the bigger one) out! Exxon/Koch-America approaches!
