Searching for inspiration, I just Googled “Random Subject Generator” to see if there was such a thing. There is.
The subject it generated is: If you could pass a law right now, what would it be, and why?
Well, my first thought is why bother, because nobody takes notice of the law these days. On Friday I actually saw a cyclist ride across a pedestrian crossing without using his hands whilst reading something off his phone screen. He wasn’t wearing a helmet, though that was a minor safety consideration compared to the rest of it.
No amount of legislation will improve that situation – some people are way past that.
The appropriate action was that sort of thing is a marksman on a high building with permission to cull the weakere members of the herd. American dentists would probably pay a large sum for the chance of mounting such a rare head on the wall, complete with unused brain.
My second thought was about the advisibility of passing a law that allows me to win the next big lottery jackpot…
I’d like to pass a law that educational curriculum include continuing education on “common sense” because it seems to have eluded the younger generations. 🙂
Ah, common sense…
Can’t remember when it disappeared, but like so many things it seems to have slipped away without us noticing. 🙂
It’s incredible what you see when you look around!
It certainly is. 🙂
Sod’s law comes to mind – appropriately named for the cyclist
🙂
I had to look up Sod’s Law. Hadn’t heard of that one. 🙂
He’s a well known British legislator. 🙂
Actually you are right in what you have said. In our society there is no evolution any more. In actual fact the buffoons reproduce in large numbers and are paid for by the people who have managed to accumulate some cash. .
I wonder what life will be like in 100 years when Artificial Intelligence does all our thinking.
Possibly better than now when idiots are doing the the acting without thinking at all.
