That's a posh version, the usual accoutrement would be "a wee dod o broon sauce".

It's a good introduction for those who haven't read the Discworld books too

It's time of year to re-read "The Dark is Rising" by Susan Cooper; "Hogfather" by Terry Pratchett; and the short story "Overtime" by @cstross which is finally out on dead tree, but for years has been available for free at https://reactormag.com/overtime//

@publicdomainrev Volapük and Esperanto respectively demonstrate the difference between proprietary versus open source. Schleyer insisted he owned the language, and that it would develop how and when he said; Zamenhof created rules on how the language can be developed to ensure backwards compatibility, then handed it over to its users.

Law is not morality. Historically there are 2 views on unjust laws: one is "lex injusta non esta lex" (An unjust law is no law at all); the other is the law is whatever the state says is the law, but one has a moral duty to oppose unjust laws. Both theories lead to a similar outcome- one should oppose unjust laws however ones morality permits or requires.
Civil disobedience means deliberately breaking a unjust law while accepting the legal consequences of doing so & is a highly moral act.
