“So, what happened?” Dave asked. “Where’d we go wrong? How’d we go from a country that was free to this erosion of our rights?”

“You can start with one simple premise: we all want to be free, but we want to dictate to our neighbors. There’s always something our neighbors do that we don’t like and that we think there should be a law against. I’m not talking about murder or robbery where there’s a victim and upon which we can get almost universal agreement that it’s wrong. I’m talking about gambling, prostitution, drug use, putting additions on your house, wearing seat belts, how children are educated, etc. I think there should be a law against something you’re doing or not doing and you, in turn, think someone should make a law against something I’m doing, and...”

Isn't THAT the truth!

No doubt. When I was a kid there was a cartoon in the Sunday Funnies that was called.”There Oughta Be A Law” Well over the years too many Politicians with too much time on their hands have taken it to the EXTREME. There are more and more stupid laws and none are ever repealed. For every new law they should have to repeal ten.
