I've always said we need more laws to make things more illegal. How about we just enforce the laws we already have better? We've been using that argument for years on gun control laws.

Statutory rape is already illegal. Making it more illegal will not decrease the number of times it is committed.

Because neither local, state, nor national laws are enforced unless there are several layers of laws backing each other up.

We sure are not getting our money's worth as citizens. Immigration laws are ignored, sodomy laws are ignored, we are being made slave laborers to illegals and minorities, when it comes to the government, they are above the law, yet can't wait to make an example of the every day joe that follows their example.

The Congress get's all holier than thou about Enron, when Congress has been cooking it's books for years. So if layers and layers of laws dealing with the same issue is what it takes to get them to enforce them, then so be it.
