Land of the Free

June 20th 2009 03:22

Of course we are free, just like many others countries, we are free to do as we wish, with the proviso that we do not break the law, of the land. Now there's thing, what is the 'Law of the Land'? How would I know, I only live here, and I find it very confusing.
