"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." ~Ayn Rand
Man reading that book has screwed me up. There's a quote in there for almost everything...
Oh, and I break any and all laws that I wish to break, after careful consideration of the costs and benefits. You do too, I'll bet. What makes you a decent person is whether or not you include the impact on other people in your consideration.
