Please,my point and certainly Mr.Nelson Rodrigues too, was that the human race as a whole is not really self disciplined by nature.
That's why we create laws,right?
Because we are a race capable of the most marvelus examples of love and sacrifice for the others but also the more montruous acts against other human beings.It was not a quote about the police,literally, for god's sake...
And he certainly wasn't wrong.Just look around,it's easy to see.All the strong democracies in the world,have strong laws punishing criminals AND (this is the real difference) laws really work on those countries.
Here is a strong critic about my own country in this matter.
Off topic enough,this is becoming too political for my taste.
