主题：【原创】谁的黄昏 -- 黑岛人

The concept of "rule of law" per se says nothing of the "justness" of the laws themselves, but simply how the legal system upholds the law. As a consequence of this, a very undemocratic nation or one without respect for human rights can exist with or without a "rule of law", a situation which many argue is applicable to several modern dictatorships.

这句话的大意是

"rule of law"本身并没有直接说法律本身的“公正”，只是简单的指出法律系统把法律放在什么样的位置，从这点出发，可以推出一个极端不民主或不尊重人权的国家可以是或不是一个"role of law"的国家，很多现代专制国家都以此作为辩解（说自己是一个法治国家）。（最后这句话我翻译得不大好，希望高手指正，我觉得更像是作者用归谬法指出如果仅按字面理解会得出一些现代专制国家也是“rule by law"的结论）
