My deputy mentioned today that she saw a parking ticket on a car parked on her street, even there are no signs posted there that you have to pay. I said the driver shouldn't pay it, since there is no legal fine if the sign hasn't been posted yet (did I really have to explain my position? unbelievably, yes I did). I said the driver should sue the police. She said that would take years and the the police would find out where he works and make his employer pay the fine while that's going on. The the driver should sue his employer, I said. He'd end up dying amid years and years of lawsuits.
Maybe I should move to Italy. Man it's great there. But then she told me there are a barrage of laws in Italy forbidding anybody without Italian citizanship from employment. WTF?
Maybe I should move back to America, then. I don't think so, though, not after reading this article: Common Sense is No More, By George Will

You can live in Melbourne! We are nowhere near Russia, are not as litigious as the US and we have wicked beaches... and me!
Booya.
Living in America is very expensive, and it is about to get much more so. Politicians here have declared war on the middle class.
I second Rachy. So, when will you be booking the flight tickets?
See Aras, you already have two supporters here in Melbourne!
Jim, have you seen what is currently happening in the UK with Labour attempting to establish even more laws to eliminate "class discrimination"? I certainly hope the Tories win the next election with the way Labour are headed (not to mention the insufferability of Gordon). This is the only article I could find and appears to be somewhat in favour of these new developments, but it's fairly easy to read between the lines
