A brief lesson on how the world works...

From Simonetta on Slashdot:

Let's take a time out for a brief lesson on how the world works.

• People have some money.
• People give a little of this money to lawyers.
• Lawyers give some of the money that they get to politicians.
• Politicians pass laws requiring you to give more of your money to the people who gave a little of their money to the lawyers.

A positive feedback loop. It continues to grow until:

• People kill the politicians, or
• People kill the lawyers.

This is how the world works.

Reminds me of the fabulous Assassination Politics.
