Fumesucker's conjecture: In society, responsibility varies inversely proportional to power.

Advertisements [?]

Has anyone else ever noticed that, in society, power and responsibility basically are apportioned exactly opposite each other?

Trivial offenses that harm no one are punished by lengthy jail terms if you are powerless.

Wreck a two hundred year old system of government and kill untold thousands and you retire a plutocrat with the best security in the world for the rest of your life, gratis.

There are days when I think smoke is going to come out of my ears.

:crazy:
