Indeed, the best. I think the Leftists are entirely too sanguine about how their luck will run in their utopia. When the executioner comes for them, they will wish they kept the law intact as the conservatives do, for their own safety’s sake!
But the author of “A Man for All Seasons” said it best:
WILLIAM ROPER: So, now you give the Devil the benefit of law!
SIR THOMAS MORE: Yes! What would you do? Cut a great road through the law to get after the Devil?
WILLIAM ROPER: Yes, I’d cut down every law in England to do that!
SIR THOMAS MORE: Oh? And when the last law was down, and the Devil turned ’round on you, where would you hide, Roper, the laws all being flat? This country is planted thick with laws, from coast to coast, Man’s laws, not God’s! And if you cut them down, and you’re just the man to do it, do you really think you could stand upright in the winds that would blow then? Yes, I’d give the Devil benefit of law, for my own safety’s sake!
Best one yet!
