"LAW: It is against the law to shoot a fish." I'd like to amend this law to: "It is against the law to shoot a fish in a toilet bowl." Whenever the state legislature is in session, we are in trouble.

I would also like to propose that state legislators purge laws from their books that are just silly, redundant, unconstitutional, or irrelevant -- say every other year.

I shall see and raise your proposal. The federal government should meet only once every two years, and they should be made to purge laws from the federal books that are unconstitutional, silly, redundant, and irrelevant. Then, there should be one new law passed which reads, RESOLVED: No law passed by the Congress and signed by the President shall be deemed operative and binding until and unless each member of Congress and the President can prove that they have read it in its entirety at least once.. This should also be applied to state legislatures and governors; city councils and mayors; county legislatures and county executives; and, any level of government I might have omitted...
