America is a land of laws, which are supposed
to protect the rights of individuals.
Our elected leaders sometimes forget that.
“Mr. Brownlow: The law supposes that your wife acts under your direction.
Bumble: If that’s what the law supposes, sir, then the law’s an ass.”
From the movie Oliver!
Well in that way I agree with you, there are to many laws and not only in the USA….. a bit less will make life a bit better IMO. I wish you a very happy new year and lets hope this year will be better for you…
Hi Seraphine
I love your format, combining a comic with the post!
I think my wife would buy one of those Ear and Nose hair Trimmers with or without a guarantee solely because there’s nothing worse she says than for her to observe an unsightly microscopic hair growing out of my nose or ear! which I have scarcely noticed!! The law existed in the Northern Territory of Australia up until 1975, that a women was deemed to be under the dominion of her husband. A court case arose concerning aboriginal women who had murdered another man. The women was freed on the basis she would have committed the crime under the dominion of her husband. Since only the women was the only one charged, under the statute the women walked away entirely free. The laws have since been repealed.
Best wishes for 2008! -PS ~I put a link on my blog to yours.
Here in Brazil, people say which is a country with with more laws and legislation in the world, i think as the same as USA, but most of the times people don´t respect that….

Colned. I agree, Common sense and courtesy is so much nicer.
Kira. True! And some laws are so dumb, even the police ignore them.
Lindsay. I’m sure your wife is lovely and has a wonderful mind of her own.
Not only in America =L
In my country, Peru, the Judicial system is the worst thing ever. Can’t be even more corrupt.

Ha-ha, out-dated laws are hilarious–when they aren’t applied. And I suppose they weren’t really funny to the people who had to deal with them. Oh well, cheers for progress. Cool comic.
Jen. The Chicago law that you can’t feed your dog whiskey is funny.
Kalai. Thank you. The dress is from a Japanese designer, Nyanchi Eel.
Raisa. Corruption threatens the viability of anything/everything. I’m sorry.
The Clothes Horse. Laws are rarely funny when enforced against you, otherwise hilarious sometimes
