Tuesday Philosophy

We're going to go way, way back for this one. Anacharsis was a Scythian philosopher who predated even Socrates (though he may have been a contemporary of Pythagoras). I mention that because it's amazing to realize this comment, made around 2700 years ago remains every bit as relevant today:

"Written laws are like spiders' webs, and
will like them only entangle and hold the
poor and weak, while the rich and
powerful easily break through them."
