Interesting points D. Floyd. I'm curious though, in these bad places that you mention, are there no courts, judges and prosecutors? Do they openly eschew the rule of law in such places, preferring not even to hold any formal legal proceedings? I'd been under the impression, perhaps mistaken, that you could always get a trial in such places and that the rule of law there was absolute, although the protections for defendants few. It is interesting to me to hear that the way to keep legal systems honest and the populace free from tyranny is to demand a higher degree of subservience to the law from those whom the law accuses. But maybe that's the way it works.
