Little Billy is keeping a gun in his locker. Little Janey sees the gun. Is it wrong for her to report him? Of course not. Do we need the help of a 350 billion in revenue company and a social-formatting scheme to help her do this? God I hope not. And did you see this incredibly frightening site? WAVE There are many organizations in existence that have should no business existing. But, since the people who get MADD are too afraid to do anything directly yo solve the problems in *thier* lives, they decide that as good americans, they should go about making laws and starting organizations to completely restructure societies attitudes to fit their fears so they can sleep better at night. I'm sorry, but an entire population should not be suffering for the foolishness and cowardice of the pathetically shipped burbanites and boomers that feel they have the right to pull the entire world around by their leash of morality. Whatever happened to "If there's a problem, fix it". No, it's more like, "if there's a problem, call the senator, create a law, raise the age limit and hire stinkertons to solve all my fears" America was not founded on picking up after idiots. So why has that become the ruling notion?
*Legal* statements like these are bogus as many an intelligent person here has noted. The legal system is extremely out-dated. Everyone is suffering due to the lawmakers inability to concieve and execute a better method. The current system of checks and balances on the crap that gets passed for law now is more like a gaping pipe. The filter has long since rusted out. Perhaps automatically giving laws expiration dates, like you would a cookie, and somehow hamstringing a lobbyists ability to influence a lawmakers vote, or even minimizing the amount of people who are allowed to submit or pass them. Ideas?
