"A reasonable postulate for virtually every thing that is wrong in the US -- and much of the rest of the world -- can be stated as 'selective prosecution has ruined the world, and cannot be fixed until the people enforce equal application of the law.'"

Yep, because that's a SYMPTOM of the problem.

The actual problem is that without a -MORAL- foundation as a guideline, the NATURAL tendencies of human's leads to the exploitation of the less intelligent and capable by a few. That's why communism, collectivism, and authoritarianism are so hilariously and obviously wrong and will never work. Where are the human "angels" we can place in such power over us?
