Tough shit.

Ah. So it doesn't matter how unreasonable or unnecessary a restriction is, if you get caught then it's tough and that's that.

I hope you're ready for the law which says that you can't leave your house between 12 and 14 minutes past the hour. Remember, if you get caught, it's tough, and whether or not the restriction is reasonable is irrelevant.

I know there are plenty of people here who are (secretly...not that they know they can't defend it or anything) in favour of Communism, but it appears that we also have those who would prefer to live in a dictatorship.
