"The United States is a nation of laws: badly written and randomly enforced." - Frank Zappa

[enraged_camel]

I think "selectively enforced" is a better way to put it.

[slowmovintarget]

No, Frank Zappa had it best. Your words may be more accurate but his words are better.

[ekianjo]

The point he was making was right. It's not randomly enforced at all, it's enforced only when it pleases the government.

[dasil003]

But the government is not a single actor with agency, from the outside it might as well be random. +1 Zappa.

Salutary neglect is as old as the colonies, boy.
