the problem with pitching Flock as "the triumph of technology over criminality" is that because of all the bogus edicts, an average american commits three felonies every single day. and whoever picks who gets prosecuted for what, is the owner running the plantation. Three Felonies a Day [LINK] In 2006, the Code of Laws of the United States of America: 200000 pages ( [LINK] ) with 500 pages/week it's about 10 years just to read it, i.e. to have a chance not breaking it (but this wrongly assumes that it's not growing meanwhile). In 2012: Federal Code: 75000 pages, Tax Code: 72000 pages. The Criminalization of Everyday Life [LINK] [LINK] John Stossel's Illegal Everything [VIDEO] John Stossel - Technically, That's Illegal [LINK] “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 me 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 or enforced nor objectively interpreted – and you create a nation of law-breakers – and then you cash in on guilt.” — Ayn Rand (1905–1982), 'Atlas Shrugged' (1957) Everything I Want To Do Is Illegal: War Stories from the Local Food Front by Joel Salatin [LINK]
