The taste of other’s misery

Schadenfreude is spice not sustenance. 

Action watching

To understand where people's interests truly lie look past what they say and carefully watch what they do.

Directives delivered with passion or pathos are not always serving the interests of those being directed.

Misdirecting the gullible

When someone reveals how capably they deceive others then listen intently to your instincts.

The problem with passing a law where government judges what is and isn't right is that you have a law in place where government judges what is and isn't right according to their interests and not yours.
