Gary,

A universal law is a simple concept that is not vague or ‘kind of and sort of’ in nature. The idea is based upon ‘all men being created equal’ and concepts like ‘justice’ (not to be confused with punishment), liberty, freedom, and equity.

Sayings like: “What is good for the goose is good for the gander” intend to convey the meaning behind the concept of universal law.

How can anyone arrive at a false understanding of universal law?

I can’t answer that question since the concept is very clear to me. If anyone does not abide by the universal law, for any reason whatsoever, the universal law is broken and the person failing to abide by the universal law is a criminal, no ifs, no ends, no butts, and no exceptions whatsoever.

No one is above the law.

See what I mean?

I am not accusing you of not seeing what I mean, rather, I am responding to something you wrote that indicates a need on my part to be more precise (elaborate and expand in case the shorter version is not enough information to convey accurately) about what I mean to communicate (my viewpoint).

This:

“This march is assisted by the making of laws by those believing they are leaders and as such have some right to create laws of a universal nature.”

That does not compute on my end. Either a law is universal or it is not universal. Either a law applies to everyone or a law is an enforced prejudice where a person or a group is out side the jurisdiction of the law, by law, and anther person or another group is inside the jurisdiction of the universal law, by law, where one person cannot or must do something specific and another person does not have to or can do the opposite.

Take torture and mass murder for example.

Person A can torture, by law, because person A has a license to torture; by law.

Person B will be tortured for torturing; by law.

Person C can murder massive numbers of people until the bodies pile up by the ton, by law, and Person C is not guilty of any legal crime whatsoever.

Person D can begin to murder massive numbers of people and Person D is already a criminal, by law, because Person D began to murder one person (perhaps Person D merely thought about it).

A universal law is a law that does not exclude anyone from the jurisdiction of the law.

I can try to read your sentence again in context and try to understand the meaning meant before you elaborate.

Perhaps it will be better to wait for a response.
