"The law, in its majestic equality, forbids all men to sleep under bridges, to beg in the streets and to steal bread-the rich as well as the poor."

The law also prevents insider trading and other activities which realistically only the rich engage in.

One action (insider trading) is done to make money in stocks with an illegitimate advantage, and the other (sleeping under a bridge) is done to...survive.

[oh_sigh]

Should insider trading be legal if it is done to survive?

At least in my region, the ACLU has sued and won a ruling saying that cops can't ticket people sleeping rough if the shelters are full/not accepting people.
