The law is not like so many people, who may be perfectly correct in everyday terms. The law is its own thing. It is deliberate. The law is slow. It is not hasty or urgent--unlike, say, anything Pencil-neck does. It is timeless, considered, and utterly logical. Its strength is that it is inexorable, just, terrifying, and final.
It is all that but you left off the laws most important quality, they are for sale.
