From [gsc]:

"Everywhere you prod it, even with the shortest stick, the established system isn't simply corrupt, it's unequivocally putrescent. The law is created by demonstrable criminals, enforced by demonstrable criminals, interpreted by demonstrable criminals, all for demonstrably criminal purposes. Of course I'm above the law. And so are you."

-- L. Neil Smith, "Pallas" (1993)

Ya just gotta love the mind who can sum up an entire institutional concept with such clarity, terse pithiness, and effectiveness.

A much appreciated read; the entire book "Pallas." I may read it again! Thank you for the reminder of its existence!
