Chinese farmer 'studies law for 16 years' to defeat dumping of hazardous waste
I think it's really fucked up that people have to <i>study law</i>.  I'm expected to live by a complex set of rules that only a few understand well enough to reliably navigate, where any transgression might ruin the rest of my life?<p>Almost nobody I know has even <i>read</i> any law.  Whenever I have, it has been a frustrating exercise in deciphering jargon and ridiculously long sentences.  It leaves me a modest degree of terrified to do anything, because everything is probably illegal by some interpretation of some corner of some strange grammar used in some paragraph or other somewhere.
