Ah, congrats on the new job and best of luck!
I like to think I'm open and honest. Hence why I scoff at my father when he sggests I convert to law and become a barrister.

So why not?
Remember that about 60% of the Lower House come from a legal background, which is why legislation is always slanted towards the law.

If there ever was a job for life that'd be it.

I'd love you to reply with one word beginning with E.

Legislation means laws though.

Legislation means the laws that we have to be subservient to.
The laws made by those blindly elected to serve.

The e word I was after was Ethics.

I'm drunk - I'm an unreconstructed socialist. I'm going to fall over shortly watching cricket.

Being by nature a linguist I read the word "legislation" and see it's from "lex legis" and "ferro ferre tuli latus"
and think about what that means, rather than what "legislation" means.

Being by inclination a Marxist
I understand legislation as a means by which to subsume an otherwise emanciated people by a tool of subjugation authorised by a state with no valid authority.

I keep quiet about politics and things like that because I don't understand them.
My friend is a strong anarchist, and while I think it's a nice idea, I have very little faith in the human condition, and I doubt anyone could make it work.

Marxism accepts everything.
It was corrupted by latter day Engels, who brought about the communistic struggles which led to Bakunin's Third Internation etc..

Now Cricket. A game utterly devoid of Capitalistic inclination.
