Are you arguing that it's wrong for the President's security team to be given special privileges under the law?


No, I'm saying we're not all equal if such "special privileges" are granted to some special few individuals for one reason or another. Overall, it was a reference to the Animal Farm book.

But if you want to know if I think it's wrong for us to have inequality in the form of non-universal applications of morality or "law", then I'll answer with Yes.


Interesting. Is this essentially an anarchic worldview? I can't see how a government could function without privileging certain individuals.


As long as people recognize that, it's a good start. But I suspect a lot of people would do mental gymnastics to avoid accepting that governments privilege certain individuals.
