The campaigners revel in their power, in their struggle, in their feeling of comraderie - which is fine - nothing like a good protest.
The trouble is that we then end up with laws that were made in reaction to unique circumstance and are not workable in other times or places.
The entire point then of law is lost in the welter of dangerous dogs, and closed sable doors.

Problems the are endless made up and simplified as we all get increasingly distressed.
The trouble is then we need to live the the extremely complex effects of these simplification - and the laws they make......
