That laws are made to be broken, so that the powerful can control the weak, so that they can blackmail one another, so that in the end it is a man-eat-man society .These are the times when wealth is acquired through conquest not by intelligence and integrity. Money is no longer made through brilliance in innovation, no, we are back to slavery.
The weak work tirelessly to make the little they can to survive. But the powerful sit down and come up with regulations to rob the poor of the little they have.The powerful have immunity from almost all the rules they make. They are not expected to break them. If they do, then its not wrong and they were doing it for the poor and the weak.Look at the cocoons the tribes represented by the individuals facing charges at the ICC have retreated to.
Who should be more powerful? The scientist who invents a great machine that can produce goods that improve livelihoods or the politician who decides on tax rates and awards himself hefty salaries and allowances? The great thinkers who spent years behind closed doors indulging their minds to come up with manuscripts that instil intelligence to other minds? Ask yourself who should be more powerful, the doctor who comes up with a procedure that can safely remove a brain tumor?
We don't reward human power anymore, we reward brutality, guns, and bloodshed. We give in so that we can live. There is no way to rule innocent men. The only power any government has is the power to crack down on criminals. Well, then 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? Whats 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, and then cash in on guilt.Now that is the system.
