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)

spying on U.S. citizens is acceptable since it's merely a means of fighting foreign terrorists

How many morons didn't see this coming?

“DEA Surveillance: Turning Citizens Into Criminals”

Well, that’s one way of justifying your salaries and your budget...

[Secret Agent Man]

our “betters” just keep making more and more laws, and make more and more things crimes, because law abiding people aren’t breaking the current laws. you can’t jail innocent people who aren’t breaking laws, so you make so many laws and so many crimes it’s impossible for anyone to know all the laws and that’s all the excuse govt needs to turn innocent people into criminals they then can prosecute.

The DEA can destroy just about anyone over 60 YO, and anyone who has undergone cancer treatment without even breaking a sweat.

Those little SMTWTFS boxes that let you set up your pills for the week allow you to very easily commit a felony, yet noone seems to know or care, even though the selective enforcement of laws turns us into a nation of men, not laws.
