Equality Before the Law..,where?!

Again, great post. I admire your willingness to stand up and advocate for the rights and concerns of others. It takes people such as yourself to go that extra mile in hopes of having one person to hear you, someone who could sign a bill or pass a law for change. You are reaching out, and you must continue doing so if there is any good to come out of it. Try to get others involved in your plight. Write down some info such as the history of the problem maybe a timeline, do an interview with people in the community that are effected by the way things are there. Your voice could become amplified 100xs if you have the voice of 100 behind you. Make a poster, pass out flyers, start a protest (well, what ever is legal there anyway) not trying to get you in anytrouble. In America, people protest about virtually everything, but I guess it is better than some of the things that they could be doing in order to be heard. Write an article for your local paper, detailing your concerns. You don't have to have a big title in front of your name or a lot of money to make a point and to create change. These are just a few things that I thought may help you with your plight. Even if you are not planning on some big ralley for change, you could always write to your countries president. I hope this comment has helped in some way. I am a writer/researcher and an advocate for people with disabilities, no matter what country they are in. So. if you need any research done or help in your cause, just let me know. I am helping a friend in Africa by donating a small percentage of my sites profits to a community to promote literacy in his town. To buy them books and pay for teachers for the adults who cannot read. All it took was someone to say, "hey, there is a big need here, and I need a hand" I am very proud of you for being so compassionate and at the same time, you sound as if you have some needs of your own. That is a great quality to have in life, never loose that. Good day:)

Here in the United States I feel that many times in court the rich get many more breaks. For example: The rich can afford to hire better Attorneys, Investigators and Research Assistants. The Attorneys run around in the same circles that the rich do. Which includes the judges and prosecutors. The rich get more publicity and media attention. I have seen very few rich people get large sentences. Many rich people, which includes politicians, that receive minor prison sentences goes to a prison camp. Martha Stewart is one of many examples.

hi, pare.. i will have to disagree with your generalization that only the rich wins in cases in our country. court cases are not really looked at as who is rich and who is poor. First and foremost, the court really actually consider the merits of the case. If you have 5 cases, for example, and they are all divided between one party "having money" and the other not, and then all those having money in reality being in the right under the law, then what is the court to do? Should it just say, "let's make at least 1 poor litigant win"? they can't do that. the merits of the case, meaning, which party is supported by the law, is the foremost consideration. btw, i'm a lawyer..and I've seen cases where the poor are really wrong in what they did that there really is no recourse but to penalize them, but not because of their social stature.
