I wonder if it would be possible to apply the same idea to government agencies...<br /><br />On the subject of goofy laws, my favorites are the surprisingly numerous Massachussetts state laws and Boston city ordinances on how, when, and when not to take a bath.Danhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06874514102255606471noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1592992209402300549.post-40923604693352932372011-01-26T18:46:21.076-05:002011-01-26T18:46:21.076-05:00Oklahoma is still on my "visit someday list&q...Oklahoma is still on my "visit someday list". My wife and I are trying to visit all 50 states, and take a hike in every one. <br /><br />Bogbeagle - apparently from Sarah Brady paradise - that is an excellent starting point. "Do no harm, Cause no loss". Think how much better would our world be if they just followed that!SiGraybeardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00280583031339062059noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1592992209402300549.post-9658955402585972792011-01-26T15:37:03.518-05:002011-01-26T15:37:03.518-05:00Interestingly enough, I was just pontificating on ...Interestingly enough, I was just pontificating on this exact subject to my co-workers yesterday afternoon.

These are the essence of all criminal and contract law.<br /><br />Strange thing about the LAW which emanates from Parliament... when you peer at it, you find that it is mostly concerned with creating loopholes by which favoured groups can avoid complying with those basics of "Do no harm and Cause no loss." The LAW, as devised by Parliament, can make murder and theft legal, whilst at the same time making self-defence a crime.<br /><br />Plenty of lamp-posts in Westminster; we should be using 'em more creatively.<br /><br />bogbeagleAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
