Respect for the law requires laws that are actually worthy of respect. We have some almightily stupid ones here in America that need to be pruned back and weeded out, and replaced with sensible, simple (I cannot stress that word enough) laws that can be enforced and obeyed easily by persons with common sense.

The problem is, for every BS law, or when laws are misapplied, there are potent factions that want to perpetuate it for whatever reason. Then there are those who either like the status quo, or who will oppose any solution that does not achieve *their* desired end result.
