    Humans are naturals at breaking laws.
    But only when the act of breaking the law brings some pleasure.
    Does study and learning bring as much pleasure as consuming prohibited liquour?
    Will Rogers made his remark in a very light vien, as in a joke, I would imagine.
    That he had great insight into the working of the human mind is undeniable from the quote you give.

    Ya see...Good old Will foresaw our current situation all those many years ago. Whatta grand guy he was. Nostradamus is chump change compared to Will. I think it is a he** of an idea and by golly I'm all for it. We are currently among the least intelligent peoples, at least we are way way way way down on the list. We gotta do sumpin'....we can't keep doin' nuttin! :)
