AGIR:
<"Law"...remember is what is 'made up' in order to maintain a status quo of basic peace, so the cabal of very wealthy people can continue to exploit the wealth of a country for their own benefit>

Bloody hell, comrade, I might have written that myself!
Maybe we can be pals after all..

Squeers,

I saw Al's comment as well - couldn't have put it more succinctly myself.
The problem is that I suspect Al approves of this arrangement.

AGiR:” "Law"...remember is what is 'made up' in order to maintain a status quo of basic peace, so the cabal of very wealthy people can continue to exploit the wealth of a country for their own benefit.

It's an illusion to think that the "law" is ultimately intended to mean 'equal justice' for all.”

We are now seeing through WikiLeaks the illusion being unmasked on a massive scale? Not just equal justice unmasked but proof those governments are ignoring Law and pressuring others to ignore it?

So what is happening is that now Law must fight State and the battle lines are being drawn.

Am I getting closer to the real seed Assange has planted?

I'm not sure that 'basic peace' is at the centre of any diplomatic efforts.

The main purpose is to facilitate trade.

If that has a side effect producing a modicum of 'peace' they do not mind.

But of course, these days, war and conflict is good for GDP, to say nothing of profits.

Besides, Al's eal point was that 'man's law' cannot be trusted, only 'gods' law'.

He just forgot to write that.
