Evidence of Our Insanity

Some people were researching the idea of women taking their husband's surname upon marriage and found that 50% of those surveyed supported a law to require women to take their husband's name after marriage.  A law to require it.  What is happening to us?  There is a fundamental problem with a society that supports laws to project onto others even the most trivial aspects of our own personal worldview.  Why the hell should I care what another woman calls herself?  Am I so insecure in my choices that others should be forced to do what I have done and change my name to my husband's?  Or are people just so lazy that when asked a question like that, they don't think at all and just go with the reaction of "there oughta be a law"?  Ridiculous.  Think, people.  Every single law -- no matter how trivial and insignificant -- has consequences.
