I had the same reaction as lessdazed. "Love is pretty much the only law" isn't a coherent proposition, it's designed to sound nice, but it gives no indication that there's an idea for a sensible societal arrangement behind it.

Okay. I guess I need to take that as evidence that I was blinded by a halo effect around the source, when I first came across the quote.

So, in that sense, the experiment is working so far. :)
