I have a question. What do you think more important, the letter of the law, or the spirit of the law?

Just idle chatter. It was just a question that jumped into my mind.

The Letter. Citing the Spirit is usually an attempt to excuse ones self for breaking the law. "Rules were made to be broken" is another excuse. If the law is wrong, get rid of it. If it's not wrong, enforce it.

Only philistines, miscreants and heathens would believe "under" was an acceptable toilet paper roll orientation.

The letter of the law was real big with Inspector Javert too. I'm sure he would agree with you totally...

I've already admitted I'm a nazi on these things, and I've said many times I don't know anything and I'm usually wrong. What more do you want?

Of course I absolutely distrust people who claim they do know something, and those who insist that they're right, so you can take that with a grain of salt too.

Getting tempted to TP some houses if everyone stays so serious on this thread.

Nothing. I just wanted to compare you to Javert.

Now leave poor Jean val Jean alone you big meanie!

You must've spelled some words wrong if Steve got riled.

There's that great "spelling" myth again.

You guys just don't listen, do you.

I listen, Steve. Every time. But some people just don't know there's a difference between spelling and grammar.
