The Public Duty Doctrine.55: Define Doctrine

As per Wikipedia, the definition of "Doctrine" is as follows: Doctrine (latin doctrina) is a codification of beliefs or "a body of teachings" or "instructions," taught principles or positions, as a body of teachings in a branch of knowledge or belief system.


Taught? To whom?

I could stand outside of any Wal-Mart in the U.S. and ask each person I meet if they know of The Public Duty Doctrine. I could ask a thousand people. Do you have any idea how many of that thousand would know? This doctrine has to do with the "public." This is the most important law concerning the public.

And that's all I have to say about that -- at least, for now.
