But how is...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.

Like a stroke victim retraining new parts of the brain to grasp lost skills, I have taught myself joy, over and over again(15).
