Prompted by Garbon's comment in the Herat/Kibosh thread, a simple question:

Which one law would you like to be exempt from, provided it didn't directly harm others ?

Tax
Being lazy is bad; unless you still get what you want, then it's called "patience".
Hubris must be punished. Severely.

Well if you're going to put unreasonable conditions on it...

Parking laws.  Towing my car should be a capital crime.

Yeah.  Hell, most "victimless" crimes harm someone, somehow.  You become a crack head, it's going to put some strain on your family.

Come to think of it, I don't really want to break any laws.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Murder.  I promise I would only do it by slitting throats and letting my murdees bleed out, so it's not like I would be hurting anyone.

This one ought to do it:

Of course being exemted from this law might be amusing too:

Though there'd probably be a downside I'm not thinking of...

Texas has super high sales tax and property taxes but no income tax at all.  Of course I still have Federal income taxes...
