The Rule of Law

---

A thought for Independence Day. As I mentioned in my last blog, the woman who was going to rent us a house decided not only not to rent it to us unless we paid her more money but then also to not return our deposit when we refused the higher price. The problem is, she can do just that because the wheels of Mexican justice turn so slow (if at all) that she knows I can't fight her.

Likewise, anyone who has driven a car in Latin America can testify how chaotic the driving is. And why not drive like a maniac when two dollars can buy off nearly any police officer? Society will fall to the level the law permits and here the lack of law permits quite a lot.

Our society was founded on the rule of law which is daily being violated in every part of our own society from the banksters who steal millions right down to the impoverished illegal alien cutting your yard. This is ALL being done with the explicit help of the Federal government. This is corrosive to any society and trust me when I say that when it gets more advanced, it isn't pretty.

It does honor to those who bled and died in the Revolution to resist the corrosion that they fought against so many years ago. This can and should be done peacefully but it should be done. Don't wait until you can't find justice personally to fight for the rule of law.

People hate God's law and often have trouble finding the good in it. One only has to clearly see the alternative to appreciate how good God's law really is.
