    Do we REALLY need that many laws for what I read were common sense issues? Friggin unbelievable. We're becoming more of a "nanny-state" by the hour.

    Buh...buh...but without regulations, it'll be anarchy!
    robber barons, oppressive monopolies, filth in food, punishing working conditions for the rank and file, racial oppression, rampant starvation among the elderly, and 25% unemployment rates.

    The problem with creating laws is they are never "unwound", meaning they just end up creating even more laws to keep refining and defining the existing ones. Same with regulations. Rather that just rolling back the stupid ones, they create loopholes to allow their own constituents (i.e. the entities with powerful lobbies and giant campaign contributions) a way to escape the strangulation of the existing regulations, then others who aren't intended to "escape" find ways to exploit those loopholes, so the politicians create further regulations, and so on and so forth.
