The law is an imperfect attempt to deal with absolutely EVERYTHING that goes wrong...or might go wrong...in an immensely complicated human existence filled with millions of unique and unpredictable individuals who might do anything at any time. It will never provide the perfect solutions we all yearn for.

Therefore, I find your characterization of it as "an ass" to be cynical, self-serving, and pointless. You're just blowing off steam.

That, of course, is the main form of activity people indulge in around here most of the time, so why should I be surprised?

You're all in a state of delusion uniquely your own, and yet you spend your days pointing the finger at somebody else and saying: "He's so delusional."

We're all delusional. It's the basis of the human ego to be delusional. It delights in its delusions. The more honest among us might have the decency to admit it, but that's a very rare thing.
