re: "Unit owners at 'temple bell' condo face immigration fines" (BP, October 8)
Dear editor,
The official pettiness of raging Thainess that refuses to waste scarce police resources on actual crimes like murder, rape, theft, fraud or corruption when you can harass good people who have done nothing wrong save to ignore a law that invades their private concerns is not unexpected.
It is a timely reminder that some laws, like many traditional customs, are, as Shakespeare has Hamlet put it, "More honor'd in the breach than the observance."
