Default Homeland Security vs. Common Sense
In article ,
says...



There's no question to me that common sense and the law do not always
go together. I'm not a lawyer, but I think that if I were, I'd much
rather be arguing on the side of what the law actually says. That's
the point I was trying to make before my "profound ignorance" was
pointed out to me by our resident counselor.

I would quote Dickens. Mr. Bumble in Oliver Twist (I believe): "If the
law supposes that, the law is a ass, a idiot." The law supposed that as
the husband he was responsible, not his wife.
