Summary

This quote suggests that laws often favor those who are powerful and influential, the "big flies," allowing them to circumvent or escape the consequences of their actions. On the other hand, the quote implies that ordinary individuals, the "little ones," are more likely to be trapped and impacted by the same laws. It highlights the inherent imbalance in the legal system that can lead to unfairness and inequality. The analogy of spider webs further emphasizes how laws can selectively ensnare certain groups while allowing others to navigate freely.
