How about a law against ridiculously naive expectations of what can be achieved through the law? Ignoring a thorough analysis of unintended consequences when proposing a law should be punishable by the rack. It's so simple.


That would be a very interesting law.

"It is a criminal offense to have unreasonable expectations of this law."

Or did you mean "the law" as in the institution?

(Also, to check, you didn't read my sarcasm as sincerity, right?)


I may have jumped the gun on that one, sorry. I'll propose a law to forbid commenting before coffee.

That said, I meant "the law" as in the institution, not individual laws.
