The law, in its majestic equality, forbids the rich as well as the poor to sleep under bridges, to beg in the streets, and to steal bread.
-- Anatole France (The Red Lily, 1894)
- dfadsadsf 4y agoAnother aspect of majestic equality is that insider trading laws and AMT apply to both CEO and the poor living under bridges.
- plasticchris 4y agoIt’s majestically equal that they frequently pay the same amount of tax too ;)
- EL_Loco 4y agoIt's also magestically equal that both the CEO and the homeless are entitled to the lawyers they can afford.
- CyberRabbi 4y agoThere are more effective and intentional ways to solve poverty than permitting theft and camping in public spaces.

- foxyv 4y agoWhen those more effective ways are accomplished, then and only then would these laws be just.
- CyberRabbi 4y agoSo is it your position that we should legalize theft until poverty is solved? In what area of the world do you live?
- foxyv 4y agoWhat I'm saying is feed and house the freakin homeless!
- CyberRabbi 4y agoWell you implied that laws against theft are not just. I disagree but disagreement is fine. Just, in what general area of the world do you live? I’m in Louisiana by the way.
