Each individual, having no taste for any other plan of government than that which suits his particular interest, finds it difficult to realise the advantages he might hope to draw from the continual privations good laws impose.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau (1712-1778)

Pretty clearly, Rousseau knew something of interests. Probably also preferences and motives. My recent musings are as follow: custom and tradition are chance propositions. Why is this so? Because there is both wisdom and ignorance at play. Accordingly, one who relies on either is but a coin toss away from success or failure.
