The week's question
In March 2025, in the thread "Re: OT, out", Umm asked the members: "Do you think it is because America is made up of magical soil that makes businesses based in America magically profitable?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

However, I believe in the Rule of Law,

No you don't. I've come to the conclusion that you don't know what it means. Ask AI

AI Overview
The rule of law is a principle where all individuals, institutions, and entities are accountable to publicly known, equally enforced, and independently adjudicated laws. It ensures that no one is above the law and that everyone is subject to the same fair, clear, and predictable legal processes. Key principles include legal certainty, fairness in application, separation of powers, and access to justice.
Core principles

~Accountability: Everyone, including the government and public officials, is answerable to the law.
~Equality before the law: The law is applied equally to all, preventing arbitrary rule or special privileges.
~Fairness and transparency: The legal system operates through clear, public, and fair procedures, with laws that are understandable and not
secret.
~Just and accessible justice: There are impartial and independent courts that deliver justice in a timely manner, often with the right to legal
counsel and the ability to be heard.
~Separation of powers: A system where legislative, executive, and judicial branches are separate to provide checks and balances on each other's
power.

It's too difficult to have any conversations with you if you pontificate on terms that you aren't acquainted with. It's not worth the trouble. Adios.
