The Rule of Law

I just read a piece from NPR's This I Believe series. I recommend reading what Michael Mullane, a law professor and director of the Law School Legal Clinic at the University of Arkansas, has to say about the rule of law. It's a message that should appeal to Republicans and Democrats alike and one that should be palatable to atheists and religious zealots. And it is a message that can be ignored at the peril of life as we have come to know and value it in these United States.

Of course, I do not believe many people will read it. And I don't believe many who read it will change their views. People who do not already understand the concepts advanced by Mullane are not likely to grasp them now; instead, they will pick up their bibles, their guns, and their signed "thank you" letters from the George Bush political dirty money campaigns and spit on the NPR stations that promulgate such anti-family and anti-Christian filth.
