Law

The weirdest thing about Law is that it is never taught to us, though we are all expected to be law-abiding citizens. How much can we learn from movies, family, society and media? It is easy to miss a lot. Most of our sense of law is out of common sense and the inherent human moral and ethical values. Besides that, we don't know what's there in the books. The only people who know law are those who are there to punish us or defend us. That's funny.

  1. And they keep creating unnecessary laws, just to make the field murkier, stinkier and flabbier. Why do we need a special dowry murder law when there already is 302 for all citizens? Are these women not citizens?! (Not surprisingly, almost all of the search results for dowry law are about the misuse of this law.) And don't even get me started on 377.

    Of course, all these are also against common-sensical individual rights, but that's another story...
