There are a few laws in society, not laws put into place by politicians, or enforced by judges. But laws put into place by people, I think most of these are rather subtle rules, that have slowly crept their way into society.
Law #1 is not so much a law, as something thats slowly become accepted by society, I would call it a social norm.
Law (or norm) #1 probably started off with Sherlock Holmes, mirroring ancient society's gross infatuation with death. Has nobody else noticed the strange, inexplicable infatuation people have with murder. We'll happily sit on our couches and watch the gruesome, bloody murders on our TV's. Imagine that being thrust in front of your eyes, not on a screen but in real life. How would you feel? Disgusted, right? So WHY are we content to sit and watch it on our screens. Sure, some of them are more about the 'detectives' and their relationships, but the fact remains that you are sitting on your couch, watching the violent, gruesome murder of someone else. When did this become normal.
I want to abolish this social law.
