An unrepentant geek - and looking for some way to avoid work - I toyed with the idea of law school after med school but just couldn't afford it. Where most of my colleagues thought the law a morass of illogicality, I was fascinated by its logic and divers approach to solving problems.

But like the humanity it serves, the law doesn't always improve and sometimes even takes steps backward. I have always thought that hate-crime laws were simply one more way the elites had ginned up to extend their power, all the while beating the drum for "fairness." When the Ruling Class starts talking about fairness, we plebs should start packing our bags and put our hands over our wallets; somebody's going to lose money or go to jail.

Hate crime laws were the responses of politicians who thought they had to do something to appease the voters.
