Don’t you think it is time this written and unwritten laws are done away with?
All meaning is context-dependent.

For example, I can Morally, Legally, & Socially drive our van.
However, when my daughter was 17 months old, and got behind the wheel yelling (gleefully no less) "Mommy, me drive too...!!!" (you know 'Anything you can do, i can do better' )
then
THAT was not morally, legally, & socially-Acceptable; & I managed to stop both her & the van from becoming History. Thank God!!!

get it?
