Often, the difference between a crime and a law is that a majority voted
for the law.

  ``But how is this legal plunder to be identified? Quite simply. See if
  the law takes from some persons what belongs to them, and gives it to
  other persons to whom it does not belong. See if the law benefits one
  citizen at the expense of another by doing what the citizen himself
  cannot do without committing a crime.'' -- Frederic Bastiat, The Law
