    Common misperception by the uneducated. Drought means you have less water than you "normally" get, even a desert can get less than normal. :rolleyes: _________________________ Asu no koto o ieba, tenjo de nezumi ga warau.

      Depends on your perspective, of course, but, yes, shower head regulation is not generally considered part of the right wing agenda.

        regulated shower heads have been the law for years here. Not only shower heads but shitters as well. New shower heads have regulaters that dramatically reduce the water flow. The same with toilets, new ones significantly reduce the water flow for flushing. Of course that means you flush 3 times instead of once. The shower head rules are bypassed by anyone with a mind. It's simply a matter of taking a pair of needles nosed pliers and pulling out the little plastic restricter. All of this, courtesy of tree huggers. Mike "We ain't stuck on stupid." badass Lt.

          Our right wing government just decided to punish bikers who 'unleash' their bikes. 'Unleashed' bikes are accepted by european regulations but not by french ones. Now, somebody doing that could get a fine of 30,000€ and be jailed for 2 years. Now tell me, do you really believe right wingers better respect individual freedom?

                                The Napoleonic Code was based on both earlier French laws and Roman law, and followed Justinian's Corpus Juris Civilis in dividing civil law into: 1. personal status; 2. property; 3. acquisition of property. The intention behind the Napoleonic Code was to reform the French legal system in accordance with the principles of the French Revolution. Before the Code, France did not have a single set of laws; laws depended on local customs, and often on exemptions, privileges and special charters granted by the kings or other feudal lords. During the Revolution the vestiges of feudalism were abolished, and the many different legal systems used in different parts of France were to be replaced by a single legal code, whose writing Jean Jacques Régis de Cambacérès had been charged to lead. However, due to the turmoils of war and unrest, the situation did not much advance until Napoleon's era ensured more stability and Cambacérès, then Second Consul under Napoleon, could work in a more serene manner. Developing out of the various coutumes of France, notably the Coutumáe de Paris, this recodification process was inspired by Justinian's codified Roman law. The development of the Code was a fundamental change in the nature of the civil law legal system; it made laws much clearer. The redaction of the Civil Code and other subsequent codes resulted in considerable debate within France's legislative bodies. In ancien régime France, law courts, known as the Parlements, had often taken up a legislative role by protesting royal decisions – to protest excesses of royal power or, in some occasions, in order to defend the privileges of the social classes to which the judges belonged. The latter was especially true in the final years before the Revolution. As a result, the French Revolution took a negative view of judges making law. This is reflected in the Napoleonic Code prohibiting judges from passing judgments exceeding the matter that is to be judged – because general rules are the domain of the law, a legislative, not judicial, power. However, the courts still had to fill the gaps in the laws and regulations; thus a large body of jurisprudence was born; while there is no rule of stare decisis (binding precedent), the decisions by important courts have become more or less equivalent to case law. _________________________ Asu no koto o ieba, tenjo d

                                    My parents in law's shower is so powerfull it is painfull. I've never actually managed to be in the direct line of fire for more than a few seconds. Point it at a certain place and their chances of having more grand children would be drastically reduced.

                                      Who cares anyway? It's just water.


                                      We say "get a life" to each other, disappointed or jokingly. What we forget, though, is that this is possibly the most destructive advice you can give to a geek.

                                      I'm sure you'd care about water if it was taken away. :) Jeremy Falcon
