Sorry. It was a quote about wealth and power Tyler Cowen referenced that isn’t entirely applicable.
“If laws are supposed to provide for the greater good of the society, those laws, which when applied, work against it must be ignored and abolished. This is difficult, however, when the wealthy have a far greater influence on the politics of the country than everyone else.”
In Berlin, the fines for public sex are means tested ― a normal fine of $198 per incident can be as low as $45 for the unemployed.
I have an idea, forget about people having sex in public. That doesn’t bother me unless they’re blocking the road or obstructing the sidewalk. Instead, make it a capital offense for tagging a public building with graffiti.
Anatole France in Red Lily:
“The law, in its majestic equality, forbids the rich as well as the poor to sleep under bridges, to beg in the streets, and to steal bread.”
A little context please? Because that doesn’t make much sense.

“Would ObamaCare be more popular if the messaging were better?”
The issue shouldn’t be whether it gets more popular or not..
“Are coffee drinkers less likely to kill themselves?”
Silly study in my opinion.
“Are coffee drinkers less likely to kill themselves?”
-Hmmm…. Interesting analysis. Another reason to drink coffee!
Are coffee drinkers less likely to kill themselves?
Not if they get a big cup of coffee first thing in the morning!

People simply do not like obamacare. Regardless of messaging, people do not understand/nor think Obamacare is the way to go!
What do you mean “people”?
