"Some Japanese Samurai, during the Edo Period, randomly tested their swords by hacking up people of lower social station.
The practice was called tsuji-giri. The clans combined to prohibit the practice through a law called Hyakkajou."

I'll bet you a dram of saki, Father Steve, that there has been no groundswell movement
by the people of Japan to rescind the law of "Hyakkajou".

But, one day, who knows? It seems to me that all people, not just intact Japanese,
are becoming odder.
