Talk About Timely...

A quotation in "The Federalist" e-mail yesterday (which I just read this morning), seems extra-fitting in light of the Adventures of Captain Buzzkill post earlier today:
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 nor objectively interpreted and you create a nation of law-breakers. - Ayn Rand

And there you have the esprit de Massa-fucking-chusetts in a nutshell. Ma-mama, we're all felons now...

That is all.

And don't forget to make the penalty for breaking all the laws a felony, cuz you KNOW what happens when you're a felon.

There'll be no one left to vote or shoot back.
