People - pardon me, journalists and politicians - have often accused me of believing that I'm above the law. And yet, who isn't?

The law is created by demonstrable criminals, enforced by demonstrable, interpreted by demonstrable criminals, all for demonstrably criminal purposes. Of course I'm above the law. And so are you.
