Let me show you how to make me feel so good,
Let me show you how to take me to the edge of the stars and back again.”

We've gotta tell each other everything, we always wanted someone to do.

“When the lights go out
come and hunt me down,
keep me in your line of sight
Be my predator, I'll give in to ya
Take a taste, do what you like
Show me how to love ya
Show me how to get you high
Show me how to love ya
I just wanna rock you right”

“Show me why your regulation of culture is needed. Show me how it does good. And until you can show me both, keep your lawyers away.”

Lawrence Lessig book Free Culture

Free Culture (2004)
Context: The law should regulate in certain areas of culture — but it should regulate culture only where that regulation does good. Yet lawyers rarely test their power, or the power they promote, against this simple pragmatic question: "Will it do good?" When challenged about the expanding reach of the law, the lawyer answers, "Why not?"
We should ask, "Why?" Show me why your regulation of culture is needed. Show me how it does good. And until you can show me both, keep your lawyers away.
