crapping rainbows in your brain

I posted this in reply to polydad's recent post on origin of law...

It's kinda long-winded and I haven't really posted anything like this in ages, so I figure I may as well give my adoring fans (hahahaha, yeah, whatever) something to chew on (whether it makes sense or you agree or not)

I think roadriverrail debated me on this issue. I think more along the usual lines of his thought processes (that is, abstract conceptualizations seem to be a waste of time. That ultimately, law is made by men... that there is no real evolution in law, but abstract concepts to reinforce the law, something along those lines... though I may very well have it wrong. It's been a while since I posted about this. And it was a very vague thing at the time. I also think he may have been misinterpreting my post at that time. Perhaps this makes more sense and goes into more detail than that prior post... I can't find it off-hand (never tagged, apparently, but I did find this other little post of mine from before, that touches on the topic).

Now onto the show (cut for all you haters out there :P)
