"Rule of Law"
The Rule of Law requeres two things in order to exists:
-Rules are not arbitrary
-No special treatment is given to certain members of a population.
What is happening this weekend? Meliora Weekend!
The most important event of this weekend, (important is based upon the amount of interest given by people) was Bill Clinton's speech. University of Rochester has tickets for this event and puts them on sale to a population, which includes parents, students, alumni and faculty. For the Rule of Law to be successful the entire population has to be treated the same way. However, this was broken since the alumni had preference over the actual students and had more access to the tickets than we had. Few students had the ability to find tickets besides the one that went since their parents bought tickets. I believe the entire population eligible to buy tickets should have been treated the same way.
Another example that I could mention was something that happen in ASU, where one of my best friends go. After a football game some players got really dunked and were disturbing people inside campus with parties. When security came and took their names people thought they were getting in trouble. However, last week after their meeting with the dean it appears that nothing happen since their coach help them. Now one month ago my friend threw a party in his dorm and got his name written by security. After his meeting with the dean, he had his suite on probation.
What does this mean? Some students are treated differently than others. No!
For me this means that the "Rule of Law" exists in very limited places if not in any....
