“When
plunder becomes a way of life for a group of men living together in society,
they create for themselves in course of time a legal system that authorises it
and a moral code that glorifies it”
Frédéric Bastiat 1801 - 1850

Interesting comment, first time I've heard of him. Googled him and read some of his other comments, certainly strikes a chord with my thoughts.
