Who wants a nation of law-abiding citizens

Over at PANEM ET CIRCENSES we read that:
This is what springs to mind as Labour’s Puritan Roundhead protectorate moves to police our bedrooms in one of its most pointless gestures yet.
Having aggressively subsidised social breakdown, encouraged (preferably unprotected) underage sex, promoted teen pregnancy and favoured single parenthood for decades, our Roundhead masters now wish to flex their moral muscle by banning extreme pornography.
One wonders if Labour eggheads are deliberately trying to criminalise the whole population while setting actual criminals free. A government run by Mad Frankie Fraser wouldn’t achieve this as well as Labour have.
“Fixing windows in Dresden”
Just to pick out one bit: “One wonders if Labour eggheads are deliberately trying to criminalise the whole population while setting actual criminals free.”
Well of course they are:
“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 enforced or objectively interpreted – and you create a nation of law-breakers – and then you cash in on guilt. Now that’s the system, Mr. Reardon, that’s the game, and once you understand it, you’ll be much easier to deal with.”
(Rand, obviously)
Did you know that fitting people up with nasty porn was a KGB tactic used to deal with people who didn’t get the message to shut the f–k up even after a good hiding or two? Such as Christians in the house church movement.
Of course this was in the 1970’s when they needed to bother – at least to some extent – with excuses and some semblance of due processes rather than just proceeding straight to murder.
