[discuss] governments and rule of law (was: Possible approaches to solving...)

[Don Blumenthal]

We¹re having enough confusion with technical definitions on this list.
Let¹s not add legal jargon to the mess.

The term ³mortmain² has meaning in US law. I never have seen ³main-morte,²
and the definition that you suggest for the term is not what mortmain
means here.
