You make good points but they refer to a failure in society and not the law. You cannot legislate away hatred, intolerance or otherwise undesirable emotions - only actions.


My point would be that justice is supposed to blind... she's not peeking out from under her blindfold to see if you're a discriminated minority - thats not her job - she is supposed to afford the same rights, under the law, equally to everyone.


Additionally, I think you have it backwards:

The law must treat all people equally so that society can come to realize, by way of education and example, that nobody is better than the next person in the eyes of our government. If we wait around for society to treat everyone equally - there will never be equitable law.


And Vyo, you seem to rarely post... so I'm honored my comments elicited a response from you. :)
