Seems Criminal

September 21, 2017

What if the crimes against humanity is having things be crimes, instead finding peaceable permanent solutions.

Moving past the repetition of repent and recidivism.

It is becoming increasingly and glaringly obvious that the rule of law is not working. As the rulers are more lawless then the ruled.

 

My favorite long Ayn Rand quote.

 

“Did you really think we want those laws observed?” said Dr. Ferris. “We want them to be broken. You’d better get it straight that it’s not a bunch of boy scouts you’re up against…

We’re after power and we mean it… There’s no way to rule innocent men. The only power any government has is the power to crack down on criminals.

Well, when there aren’t enough criminals one makes them. One declares so many things to be a crime that it becomes impossible for men to live without breaking laws.

Who wants a nation of law-abiding citizens? What’s there in that for anyone?

But just pass the kind of laws that can neither be observed nor enforced or objectively interpreted – and you create a nation of law-breakers – and then you cash in on guilt.

Now that’s the system, Mr. Reardon, that’s the game, and once you understand it, you’ll be much easier to deal with.”

― Ayn Rand, Atlas Shrugged
