Flapjack, with all due respect, I don't think it's a "problem" to use the rule of law to define and establish legal rights and resolve legal matters. Gore keeps referring to the rule of law, but only until he needs to cite the specific law that supports his position. Then his argument (like yours) evaporates into subjective notions of "fairness," "righteousness," etc. Btw, those guys in 1775 who you referred to are the very people who believed in the rule of law, and gave up their lives to establish a system that was intended to uphold the rule of law and personal protections instead of a monarch's whims. Btw, I'm a big picture guy, and know that every masterpiece is comprised of a lot of small strokes.

Hi flapjack. This post is related to an earlier discussion we had regarding the black vote for Gore. You implied that because 93% (or some figure near there) of blacks voted for Gore, something must be wrong with GWB. Did you know that on his 2nd term for Governor he got 35% of the black vote in Texas? That seems very significant to me based on your earlier reasoning. Is it possible that he is not as evil towards blacks as you thought, or is it a question of blacks in Texas being different than the U.S. black population as a whole?
