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
