Since more laws make us more perfect, how many more laws will we have/"need" in the next 10 years? 20 years? 50 years?

Why don't we just go for perfection now, and pass 50 years of more laws all at once? It'll save money in the long run, and zillions of chilldruns too, no doubt.


Are you in favor of abolishing legislatures?

No one (at least no one who's sane) claims laws make people perfect. Laws can deter dangerous actions, and that's not anti-conservative. Maybe it's anti-libertarian; I don't know.

I am absolutely in favor of abolishing all full-time legislatures, and would favor something like two 30-day sessions per year.

Anything more, especially full-time parasites, just encourages them to sit around meeting with lobbyists and cooking up new laws, worthwhile or not.

Send their butts home for 80% of the year, forcing them to find something useful to do with their lives and exposing them to the fallout of their governmental idiocy firsthand.

"Laws can deter dangerous actions, and that's not anti-conservative."

Punishment for breaking laws deters action. The laws themselves hold no weight. Alter the punishment for the existing law rather than creating new legislation that can have buried unrelated amendments donkey-tailed into the last 150+ pages of the bill...
