Are you arguing** that the mere existence of these outdated and underused laws means that most of the laws (both active and outdated) were inspired by the Ten Commandments? Or, are you arguing** that this is only the case for those old old old old old laws, which are a small percentage of the total laws on the books?

Does anyone remember the supposed OLD law (often called the "something rule") that says a man can beat his wife with a certain sized object? I can't recall the specifics, but is it bullshit like the "brothel law?"



**see what I did there?
