Have you ever unintentionally broken the law?
I’m not a speed merchant, but anyone can have a momentary lapse of concentration. Plus where I live we have a highway where there’s a steep hill that you have to apply a lot of power to climb, then as you go over the top it drops away quite sharply. If you’re not careful you can be doing 85 in seconds.
Apart from that I believe in the rule of law, don’t fancy prison, and am happy to be boring.
As this answer is not thrilling…
Let’s think about some laws we should have for which there should be punitive penalties.
TV streaming services should not be allowed to keep increasing adverts to try to make you pay to remove them. How many more billions do these companies need?
Supermarkets should have to pass on savings when prices go down. Especially in cases where a crop has failed and the prices have gone up, they never seem to go back down. That’s wrong.
Governments should have to tell you the truth. You could tattoo liar on their foreheads when they bend the truth, that would look good on tv, and when they’re out shopping. At a family wedding!
A law to settle the cats – v – dogs argument, called the “they’re living beings stop judging and get over yourselves” law. Or the four feet is kinder than two law.
That could have many applications:
- Skin colour is sun bloc. The find something important to fight about and leave nature alone law.
- Women have rights. End of. The I’ll set my grandmother on you with her brolly law.
- There is no superior race. Stop being a judgemental ass law.
- Milk chocolate is best because milk is good for you! I’m ignoring the whole antioxidant thing because dark dark chocolate is disgusting. I tried 100% cocoa chocolate – it nearly choked me!
- Star Trek or Star Wars? Who cares it’s good entertainment law.
- Tea is better than coffee. The water is better than both law.
- Who was the best Superman. The one with the best chest obviously. The Dwayne the Rock Johnson Law with the Jack Reacher clause.
- English, Scots, or Welsh are superior? That’s the it’s one small island and it’s a mess, let’s focus on what matters law.
- Labour, Conservatives, or Reform bun fight. Substitute your parties. The they all forget to put public before party law, with the we do have two other great parties clause.
Seriously though
There should be one law that even though I am completely anti the death penalty unless it’s High Treason (which is a crime against all the people of the UK), I would at least consider it. That’s because the crime can be small to vile, but the effects are widespread and can be hideous.
The ‘right to kill and perform acts of violence law’. There is no right to harm any living thing, especially a person, because you deem it unfit to live. No one has that right. If you think you do then you are everything that this world does not need, never has and never will. You are truly superfluous to requirements.
The test of a person in this world is very simple, can you or can you not accept differences, different races, genders, religions, and different opinions? Can you respect the animal kingdom? If you can’t then at least be non-violent, and preferably silent. Live quietly.
Where the death penalty might cross my mind is children. It’s high time we had some laws that actually protect them.
What a world it is that we even have to think about that in the 21st Century! Sigh.
If we hear of a sudden increase in wind speed across the world it will be all the decent people sighing with me. Bless you for being you, you are importantly beyond measure.
Best love
