Should the lion be above the law

I see it all the time, and just confirmed it yesterday in a zone where parking spaces are tough to come by: A car squeezing in a corner gets a ticket. Two official vehicles, whose owners work for the lion, park illegally. Needless to say, they shouldn't be driving those vehicles either, but who can tell the lion?

But it's understandable if you know what's going in the jungle... ;)

HOW THE LAW WORKS... FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE LION One day the King of the Jungle, tired of being called a "Tyrant," gathered the most cunning animals in the kingdom, chief among them the Foxes... He said to them: "It's mighty unjust that I am not recognized for what I am. You know full well that the best of my SCRAPS, after you, go to the Little Animals... Well, I want you to write LAWS, so from now on it'll be them, and not me, who would rule over this God chosen kingdom..."

Well, usually it takes some participation in politics to know how to make big business in a perfectly legal way, but I'll clue you in in the hope that you won't run for my local...

After a few months of hard deliberations (and a few "private parties" and "business trips") the Foxes (now turned politicians) returned with a long, long book of laws written in a language so hard to understand to the Little Animals that they thought it was old Greek. After translation, it started like this: "The animals with a mane will be treated like kings; the animals with paws and teeth will be above the Laws; and the animals who will represent the interests of the Little Animals, us, will be granted a raise in benefits and status... Of course, ALL FORMS OF DISCRIMINATION will be considered ILLEGAL, and will result in the Lion eating the Little Animal..."
