I was watching the classic 70's movie "Billy Jack". His line about the breakdown of law made me think. If I remember correctly the line was "When a policeman breaks the law, there is no law. Only a struggle for survival".
Tom Laughlin (Billy Jack) ran for president as a Democrat in 1992, as a Republican in 2004, and again as a Democrat in 2008. He lectured on lectured on Jungian psychology, and wrote wrote several books on psychology. He was a neighbor of O.J. Simpson and warned him that he'd end up in jail for beating Nicole Simpson. He made several movies and started the Montessori preschool, the largest preschool of its type in the country. The martial art used in the Billy Jack films was Hapkido as taught by Grand Master Bong Soo Han. This kick was performed by Tom's stunt double, Grand Master Bong Soo Han.
