[Mishmash] Can I pick my law to break?

[Hugh Gigante]

Who could understand it, David.

I think the world (at least the civilized portion of it) is trying to come 
to grips with the kind of two-legged creatures who think killing themselves 
and their own children serves some sort of ideal. Its sad, but we havn't yet 
figured out just how to handle them.
