Pass enough laws to make to everyone a criminal and you control the populace.
A fact that many freepers seem to overlook...
How long till Obama’s TSA passes a rule banning video/recording of security checkpoints to avoid embarrassing situations like this?
and men,....just carry an extra fez in your pocket...
any of you life long Catholics who went to school many years ago remember the nuns having a box of those lacy things to give to the girls for church?....the nun also had a box of ties for the boys.....geesh...the good old days....back when wearing a veil/headcovering for a woman in church was important and back when the boys had to wear ties....I'd go back in a second except now I know how it all turned out...
“”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.” (’Atlas Shrugged’ 1957)
