The American Nightmare – cracking a smile on at the law (cock your snout at the law)
Every one (interesting case, different from 'everyone' this stresses 'one' - each and every one of us) of us appreciates living in a civilized, lawful society, although especially our youth especially (put the adverb closer to the verb) tempts us to transgress the law and to test the limits. The conformism of being nonconformist! Often we are expected to scorn conformity, to refuse law-abidance (I think that's an invented word! Abidance is indeed a noun, but virtually unused, law-abidance is stretching it!) and to be autonomous, living according to our own laws, being independent from 'the system'. Rebelliousness. Insubordination. Noncompliance. Anarchy! Chaos! We want to be free and a law unto ourselves. Our parents call it hormones, puberty, adolescence, obstreperousness, fractiousness. In the end most of our attempts to cross the line stay rather harmless: We change our hair colour, we listen to music unbearable to our parents' ears. We are capricious. This is our way of crossing the line(repetitious) transgressing, of attaining freedom, without really getting ending up on the wrong side of the law. Because in reality, we all appreciate the amenities of a lawful state. But here there are some rules the transgression breaking of which still might be smiled on consent and with tacit approval at – even by the police. Just read through this compilation of laws (which compilation, where is it?) and then chose one or two to break, (choose carefully and judiciously though). (maybe not the bear wrestling rule) . Preferably you should not be a citizen of the state the rule of which you intend to break (breaking laws in another state or country might be exceeding foolhardy).
