Weasel Words

Why for we seem so wise yet act so foolishly; Why so we create laws for others to follow saying,look I know best forb those other fellows; It's for your greater good shape up,hera what I say, It's much the better way; I've given this some thought (but not as much as I ought); What about me, you say? What I do privately is,not for you to see; Why for we seem so wise yet act so foolishly;

There ARE some people who always think they know what is best for others, but their own lives are not open for criticism. Very insightful, Brian! Love, Carolyn

It's a necessary evil to enact laws. However I wish the voters would call their bluff more often
