Stupid laws should be disregarded. Unconstitutional laws should be broken.

Amen! However, I would have bet a million $$ (if I had it) that the "the law is the law" contingent was going to show up on this thread.

whether or not you "had it" you should have made this bet... with someone who DOES - you'd be a rich man now ;)

Each person of the contingent has a vest interest in status quo establishment politics. You already know this so I post it for others who may not.

How is it that people and society in general have prospered and increased their well being for decades yet the politicians and bureaucrats say we must have another 3,000 laws and regulations each year... That without them people and society face "disaster". People and society have done quite well without next year's 3,000 new federal laws and regulations. Why all of a sudden can people and society not continue to do quite well without them? The fact is, they'd be better off without 99% of them.

So who really benefits from 3,000 new laws and regulations each year? -- not to mention state laws and regulations. Politicians and bureaucrats. They create boogieman problems and with a complicit media towing their boogieman problems cast a net of false fear and unwarranted despair in people.

Quite literally, they create problems where none exist. They're sick in that they chose to frighten people and foist false despair on them and do that to collect their unearned paychecks. Their job security is predicated on deceiving as many people as possible.

Voting for the lesser of evils always begets evil. How can so many people thinking they're right be so wrong?

Wake up! Politics is not the solution -- politics is the problem.

Who are the producers?
Who are the parasites?
Praise the value producers --
ostracizing the parasitical value destroyers.
