> The law means what everyone says it means. Not quite. The law means what the people with actual power say it means. I find it odd that people express surprise when something happens that seems to violate some text written on a piece of paper. It's people with guns versus a text document. Not really a fair match, and not a surprising outcome. > This is what makes libertarianism a cruel joke: even if it made sense, it would be subverted immediately by powerful or moneyed interests. Not sure what that has to do with libertarianism specifically. Seems like "democracy" or even just "government" fits better in that sentence.
