Oh give it a rest. The law is impotent if it doesn't have common consent and
the majority ignore it.

Have you ever accidently put a stamp on upside down but still posted the
letter? Yes? Well in that case you've technically commited treason. Look it
up. There are probably dozens of other absurd laws that plenty of people
ignore because they either bear no relevance to reality or are just plain
daft.

Well said. The 'breaking any law is serious' argument is a pretty
nerdy one that always seems rather detached from the real world.
