"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
objectively interpreted-and you can create a nation of law-breakers--and
then you cash in on guilt."
