Love this!
Also, I think your judgement was sound re the plea :)
I know, but this incident still pisses me off thirty seven years later.

I have become very mellow about stuff like this, since I see it everywhere, even in myself.
One that continues to amuse me is that my mom reacts with horror at the idea that people are smoking weed; despite the fact that our family killing itself with alcohol is the most normal thing in the world. In her mind the things are in entirely different buckets.
If I wasn't amused by these developments I'd probably just go mad.

Speaking of hypocrisy, the weed/alcohol buckets were really apparent regarding law enforcement years ago. I suspect not so much now.

I like to think of Natural Law and Written Law. Confucius wrote the Art of Governing (Or this dialogue was recorded by writing). In the Art of Governing there is written law and unwritten law. The Tao is Natural Law (Dharma Dhamma) and written law is convoluted truth.
The King who governs by example is governing by virtue. He does not need written law as the people follow his example.
Govern + Ment (mentis) is mind control and it is arbitrary and designed for conflict which has authority in the Hegelian Dialectic of Problem, Reaction and Solution. All manufactured.
As a final note in language. The word Dharma in Sanskrit ( Dhamma in Pali) has the root Dhar(o) which phonetically sounds like Taro (Torah). We get the word Terrain from this root and we get the Bodhisattva/ Goddess, Green Tara from this.
The Buddha was challenged by the Demon Mara (Equivalent to Satan - Hebrew for "opposition"). Mara said that the Buddha had no right to claim Sovereignty and enlightenment. The Buddha pointed to the Earth and said this is my witness. The Earth is Dharma (The Law).
Saint George (Geo - From the Earth) kills the Dragon ( R factor of the mind. Reptilian brain).
Satoshi gets his name from Sanskrit Sat which means truth.

You packed a lot in here. I haven't spent much time on etymology, but I guess there is a dispute about the English origin of government that seems to be a blue/red thing! The left search engines downplay the idea of mind control.
