"When plunder becomes a way of life ..."

One of Mario Burgos' readers left this little pearl recently,
on Burgos' post on Manny Aragon's "going to jail" party;

"When plunder becomes a way of life for a group of
men living together in society, they create for
themselves in the course of time a legal system that
authorizes it and a moral code that glorifies it"

Frederic Bastiat - The Law

If ever there was a system that authorizes public corruption,
it is in Santa Fe. If anywhere there is a moral code the glorifies
public corruption, it is in Santa Fe.

... party on.
