"In a city filled with clusters of people hailing from all over the world, these rules can get lost in translation."

I don't get it. Why is anyone complaining?

Perhaps if we required immigrants to learn English, we might be able to teach them our law, too.

Except I don't think a single American can reasonably understand every single law that's out there.

But hey, folks asked for diversity; now they are getting diversity.

P.S.

Nasher bought the chickens from a poultry market in Brooklyn, and said he didn't know he was violating state law.

"In Bangladesh, you didn't have all these rules," he said.

Nasher, you're not in Bangladesh any more.

When I was a little kid, I'd go with my Grandmother to the poultry market on Joseph Ave., here in Rochester, NY. They had live chickens and she would pick out the one she wanted and the butcher would chase it down, ring its neck, gut it and pluck and burn off the feathers, right there in front of us without hiding it! Of course, this was a Lithuanian/Polish/German neighborhood back in those days (late 50's, early 60's).
