These days it is only natural that the sudden unwarranted appearance of a WWI-era biplane in the vestibule is enough to cause trepidation, if not out and out consternation. After all, unwarranted fluctuations in the time and space continuum are specifically outlawed in some recent EU-wide legislation and – thenceforth – should not now occur.
It is a matter, surely, of documented fact that once a government of any stripe – up to and including the EU bureaucracy - passes any law then whatever it is that that law outlaws ought to stop happening. As the current success of the Euro shows, once laws are passed even the rules of economics must bend to fit, reality itself must alter itself, to fit the new regime.
For it is obvious by now that if – for example – a governmental body were to, say, repeal the law of gravity we would all, once that law was passed find ourselves suddenly floating free of the pull of the Earth. Well, at least in those areas of the planet that came under the jurisdiction of that new law, while the rest of the world’s population would find themselves still tied to the surface… and probably quite jealous of our new-found freedoms.
For, after all, that is the role of politicians - as they themselves see it - to create the world anew in an image of their own choosing, unbounded by mere reality and trivial universal laws of nature.
