Legislators need to be paid for taking laws off the books.
I have occasionally half in jest proposed that one year out of every four should be for reviewing and purging of laws.
Up until a couple years ago it was illegal for me to wander around Boston without being escorted by two armed solders. (No I am not kidding)
While the law had not been enforced in a couple of hundred years it was still on the books and technically enforceable. I was rather shocked to find out that I was a lawbreaker.
The Texas Legislature only meets every other year, a system set up in the Texas Constitution. The reasoning behind this system was that the purpose of the Constitution was to protect life, freedom, and property, and that no man's life, freedom or property was safe while a legislature was in session.
When Ludifisk is outlawed ALL Ludifisk eaters will be outlaws...
Watch your diet FRiends. ; )
"Legislators need to be paid for taking laws off the books."
Legislators need to be beaten with large sticks from time to time.
Three for one!
For every new law they want to pass they should be required to repeal three.
