True. But I live in the US and we are famous for making laws that are counterproductive and not enforceable! :-)

Quote - While we are waiting for Chris & company some interesting trivia.

Just like in US, the European medieval monks liked juridical nit-picking. There are rows upon rows of legal matter about such things as "if a woman gives birth to a child while travelling must she pay another ticket" and so on.

In Washington, every fifth male is a lawyer. (Unlike the facts about the monks that is only hearsay though).

Consider this: no government would want to make laws that is not enforceable. To do so would water out the respect for law and be counterproductive.
