The one law you despise
« on: April 16, 2006, 07:01:12 PM »
Everyone has one law on the books in their home country that they despise with a pation.  


If you had the power, which law (from constitutional down to local) would you repeal?

Not having Daylight Saving Time. A blinding Sun at 4 a.m. is no picnic.

(Trivia for the really pendantic: it's Saving Time, not Savings Time.)

The bottle deposit law.  Five cent deposit on every bottle/can you purchase...buy a 12 pack - sixty cents.  Can't smash the cans to save space before taking them to recycling, because the bar code needs to be visible to get the deposit back.  And to make it extra annoying, most retailers will only take back the products they sell, so you can't mix up your cans from different stores unless it's carried by the store you're taking them back to.  Not to mention the fact that this surely boosts the cost of the beverages to offset the manufacturers' handling costs.

SOB's dilemma is made even worse by people like a buddy of mine who used to take truckloads of cans when he visited relatives in a neighboring state which has the deposit.  Usually it more than paid for his gas for the trip, as the stores were happy to take common brands like Pepsi.

The law that allows Californians to move to Oregon.  The bottle deposit law, started in Oregon, is one of the best laws since Moses came down from the mountain.  Any true Oregonian would agree.

You're going to have to forgive me, I blatantly misspelled passion.  I'm sorry, I just got back from a weekend of screaming out orders to incompetant sailors WHILE trying to race at the same time.  I'm a bit stressed.




The one law I would can would be the Eminent Domain law.  It is truly the one law I do not understand.  Err, I understand how it works, I just can't understand why the founding fathers put it in there.

Plus I despise the idea that you have no choice over what happens to your land.

Heh, perhaps that's true.  I'm from Wisconsin where pop is cheap, and I remember the ease of just crushing the cans and tossing them in a bag - then taking them to the recycler to sell them by the pound once or twice a year.

I do like the law against Kalifornians though...but I think that should just be a federal law.
