LOL, Guest. You had me going there for minute!

Larry seems to feel that Ms. Toogood and other Travellers are being discriminated against because the law is actually being enforced. I agree that this could be true in theory, but I don't see it applying in this case. If Travellers are prosecuted for this more often, it could have a lot to do with the fact that most other people DO have a permanent address and legal name.

Whether the use of multiple names is an old tradition or not, in the area now known as the US, a consistent family name has been required by law since the Brits took over New Amsterdam.

There are too many ways to satisfy the legal requirements in question without infringing on one's cultural identity for me to accept the idea that it is impossible for the Traveller's or Romas to obey the law. The use of a permanent PO Box is one way -- but I find it difficult to reconcile Mrs. Toogood being unaware the place had closed if she had been paying her bill to keep one.

So we are left with the possible conclusions that a) she's stupid, b) she's ignorant of the basic laws of the country she lives in, or c) she deliberately broke the law.
