Couldn't agree more with Shapeshifter; the system is definitely a vampire

A sweetest piece of miniature architecture offers nothing at first but pleasure in the eyes of its admirers. Detailed scales which represent real life structures may even cast a wish on the mind of a dreamer to go shrinking in size and walk into it to gain maximum satisfaction.
But satisfying as it may be to the eyes, it cannot possibly satisfy one thing: reality. Things are deceiving until you know them better.
Legal provisions are just like miniatures. From the pain to debate and draft to the pleasure to watch them finally printed in the statute books. But unlike some miniatures which are created just for the love of art, legal provisions are not just words to decorate a statute book. Legal provisions are written to tackle reality. They do not end only in pleasure (to read) but pain as well, the pain of putting them into reality: legal enforcement by the relevant authorities.
Ever and anon, legal enforcement has always been on the scale of your political will. To enforce or not to enforce is based on your dictation and not out of legal conscience upon analysing legal provisions. Bureaucratic as it may be, the system is designed in such a hierarchical way that enforcement could only work by way of your prior endorsement. The provisions of the substantive legislation are not only to be read accordingly with their proper subsidiaries in the form of rules, regulation and by-laws but also subject to the interpretation by you guys, their political masters.
When laws are designed to make you people look distinguished in the eyes of others, when legal provisions are just left as pretty miniatures to carry around and to be boasted upon, that is the defining moment for the first piece of the whole legal structure to crumble.
Legislation and your policies merged together, more often that what is expected, has always been a matter of putting yourself over and above others. What makes it really disappointing is that, too much emphasis is placed on the filthy feudal-like infrastructure that you set aside the grievance of the general public who are left groping in the dark for a piece of their legal rights.
And I'm pretty damn sure that most of the oppressed lots would lean towards one common prayer; that you burn in hell for all eternity. Unless you find God and seek His reprieve and compensate us for all your wrongdoings, I couldn't do more but share their chorus of criticisms and raise the flag on their side as well.
Forgive me.
