there are crimes against the System and crimes against another person(s). Through the history of the human race the former were punished harder than the latter.

there are crimes against the System and crimes against another person(s). Through the history of the human race the former were punished harder than the latter. Jesus for example. There is a joke in Russia about a person buying a fake money printing device. After discovering that the device itself is a fake (it was loaded with a bit of real money for demo purposes during sale), the buyer reports the fraud to the authorities. As result the seller gets relatively small time for the fraud he committed against the buyer and the buyer gets much bigger time because he tried to commit fraud (ie. intended to print fake money) against the government.
