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.

A man who has never gone to school may steal from a freight car; but if he has a university education, he may steal the whole railroad.
