I Am Above The Law

“People—pardon me, journalists and politicians—have often accused me of believing that I’m above the law. And yet, who isn’t? … The law is created by demonstrable criminals, enforced by demonstrable criminals, interpreted by demonstrable criminals, all for demonstrably criminal purposes. Of course I’m above the law. And so are you.”

— Character in Pallas, by L. Neil Smith

  1. Ayers may finally get his anarchy. I wonder if he'll enjoy it as much now as he did in the 60's?

  3. Those of the conservative persuasion I'm talking to still have an obsession with obedience.

    I hate to say it, but as bad as Obama will be for us personally, I think he'll be good for the cause.

  4. Anon, I agree. Or DID. With all the retreads he's choosing, I'm not sure he'll be sufficiently outrageous (on the surface) to motivate the Right.

    That worries me.

  5. Amen. That is the idea. WE make the future. IN SPITE of the collectivists.

    My friend calls it "One Law Too Far", when the people simply ignore the law when it becomes too restrictive or stupid.

    I like that. And I think that's what you're getting at here.

    We just won't do it.

    They'll have to jail a whole lot of pissed off armed people.

    I wish them good luck with that.
