Men are greatly skilled at harming one another.
The laws of men are thought to be the solution to this. But the laws of men are
arbitrary. They are meant to punish the harms which threaten to undermine the
establishment; even the laws which seem not to be for that purpose so attend
that purpose in the end.
We punish presumed harms in accordance with the
superstitions of the day, harms born of self-fulfilling prophecy which thus harm
accordingly. But we punish none of the great harms which are approved by the
elite; those in their best interests to inflict, and for us to inflict on
others.
Prisons are taken for granted, while truly they are
the privilege of the free. Yet we seem to resent each small price we must pay
for it.
