Lines: 11 It is one of the ploys of a totalitarian society to have a great many laws, so many that the average person is guilty of breaking many of them, even in ignorance. Then, whenever the establishment wants to punish someone, they can simply prosecute them for the laws they have broken. As long as you are a good little citizen, they will leave you alone, but just don't forget what they could do to you if they really wanted to. What, you don't think there's any danger of that here? Well, maybe we can arrange to have your taxes audited.
