23. Excellent point and it

points out the warning I have been making over and over for some time. The words are meaningless without enforcement and action. Just like our current situation and the words on the pages of law being made to be just words while crooks and scum go on their merry way. I have been trying to get people to come to the realization that saying "They can't do that because the law says....." is futile. They usurp the enforcement system and they have. So what the words say is no longer to be applied universally but only selectively as it fits the desires of the tyrants. It's one reason why we end up with such uneven application in prosecution and trial of different people for like offenses and circumstances.
