a design defect

1. A 3-year-old child turned on the hot water in a bathtub. His 11-month-old sister climbed into the tub and was severely burned before being rescued by her mother. The mother sued the hot water tank maker for installing a thermostat that allowed the water to reach 170 degrees, which was the industry standard.

2. In Jesus’ time, the Ten Commandments had been expanded to over 30,000 laws. It was nearly impossible for someone to know all of them, let alone follow them. This led to an interesting encounter between Jesus and a teacher of the law, as given in Mark 12:28-34.

28One of the teachers of the law came and heard them debating. Noticing that Jesus had given them a good answer, he asked him, “Of all the commandments, which is the most important?”

29″The most important one,” answered Jesus, “is this: ‘Hear, O Israel, the Lord our God, the Lord is one. 30Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.’ 31The second is this: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ There is no commandment greater than these.”

32″Well said, teacher,” the man replied. “You are right in saying that God is one and there is no other but him. 33To love him with all your heart, with all your understanding and with all your strength, and to love your neighbor as yourself is more important than all burnt offerings and sacrifices.”

34When Jesus saw that he had answered wisely, he said to him, “You are not far from the kingdom of God.” And from then on no one dared ask him any more questions.
