"The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary." ~ H.L. Mencken

I remember reading about the rise of French Hip Hop. It was the unintended consequence of a French law that required radio stations to play a certain percentage of French language music. The strange result is that a traditional Italian folk song would not count as part of this percentage but Oxmo Puccino rapping in French would. For every law there are unintended consequences.
