I was stating my opinion that most laws are passed in order to show the public that the politicians are "doing something about the problem". I never said I agreed with it -- actually, I disagree with that approach.
I wish more politicians had the cojones to say that the problem isn't theirs to fix.

We are on the same page on this one, thanks for the clarification.
