Well Werner,



when I think about Henry VIII, who created a new religion, only to be able to get rid of his wives, I'm not so sure about the Brittish non-deviationism ;-)



Maybe they simply had fancy words to go around them, like: "Now is the winter of our discontempt made glorious summer..."



Just a Wednesday NTC,



Ioan

Hi Rudy,

I fully understood what you were saying; but perhaps I did not make myself 

clear enough. 

Most of continental Europe's law systems are based on Roman Law, not British 

Law. The basic European attitutude is: "Laws are there to be broken!"—it is 

much more cynical vis-a-vis the written law, based on people's experiences with 

a whole slew of monarchs and dictators of various stripes promulgating laws as 

it suited them [you do not have to go anywhere near as to what happened to 

'laws' in Nazi-Germany]. It is interesting that the British did not develop this 

attitude—their monarchs were not any better.



Werner
