(#4960) If doing what is wrong is legal then the law is wrong!

     A more perfect union comes to mind when I think about how many times we see others commit crimes but are not punished for them. Our legal system at times can be a hindrance to getting justice. The same is true on the inverse when doing something right is illegal, then again the law is wrong. A major overhaul of our justice and legal system is difficult to undertake but in incremental ways can be accomplished. You see Reality Winter do something that was morally and ethically correct in the overall scheme of life and she is punished for her efforts. I get the reasoning of her punishment but not the intent.
     Then you have trump like figures who do their worst and are treated with a favored dispensation that defies reality. Let me be clear here. There is no human being on this planet that deserves anything more from our democracy than any other human being. No one! So making exceptions for some and not for others just slaps democracy in the face hard! The way the trumps strut around defying lawful orders is mind boggling because of some fear of what? I am not a coward who shakes and hides from threats! Instead I fully expect those who are guilty to threaten me and mine whenever it suits them to achieve their agenda. Such is life, but I would rather be me not being a coward then them being suited for a prison cell.
     Eventually our democracy, if it survives, will adjust its laws to better fit the doing right part of living and as well shutting off dispensations for wrongdoers. We will get there but in the meantime the complications of our society notwithstanding; the righting of wrongs has to find a way to be developed for those now, either caught, or purposefully manipulating, in the trap of absurdity. The act of a behavior in context can easily define the intent. We can move forward through common sense and logic to define rationality without have to divine it through magic or wishful thinking. Our modern enlightened society is capable of sorting simplicities when they arise and as well deconstructing complex wrongs when their intent can have no benefit to society.
