Is it possible to be law abiding anymore or is it just a matter of degree?
The logical conclusion is that when they steal stuff, they’re quite good, while you’re valueless.

Aren’t we already paying politicians, elected officials and public sector employees to not break the law?
How is that working out for everyone?
Apparently, the hazard of having morals is that it doesn’t pay? When society abandons the primary social compact – “thou shalt not steal” – that society’s end can not be far behind.
