Jessica,

I think you're right about the repeat offenders. After a number of offenses I think the effectiveness of one's position on the vertical and horizontal dimensions is weakened.

Anne,

You're also right, my example of "Operation Ivy League" is not one in which there is no law, but consider what happens to someone who's only got a joint in hand, or a half a gram of cocaine. Conceivably, there are individuals who would have absolutely nothing happen to them if caught because of their placement on the vertical or horizontal dimensions. And there are also individuals who are placed on different parts of those dimensions that would be cuffed, even have guns drawn on them. To me, that's an example where the law doesn't exist for one person and does exist for another, based on their placement on those dimensions
