 ... What I meant to say is that I think few think of nature as following laws.  I would expect that most people think of scientific laws as descriptive rather than prescriptive since the latter position sounds absurd.

Most folks would never even think of that, or if they did it would be immediately dismissed as absurd. But actually, that's exactly what I've been getting at all along. We're about to launch a fund-raising project and a legislative initiative in order to establish a natural law enforcement agency. As you must know from reading the news, subatomic particles, cleverly disguised as waves, have been conspiring to break the laws of nature. This diabolical plot has to be stopped and it's going to cost money. Won't you give? Even a small donation could really make a difference. Without your help, the universe will degenerate into chaos. If you make a payment of $100 or more, you will be inducted into our exclusive "Pharaohs Club".
