For all the excitement, this law only lasted slightly over 1 year. I wish all goffy laws were corrected this quickly.

[edit] after the verdict

The order had elements of humanism: wives with breast-fed children, ill or with ill children were not arrested. They were moved to labor camps later: breast-feeders after the verdict, those with illness after the recovery.

What? Don't you mean after the children are weaned? njaard 05:19, 25 August 2007 (UTC)
