Somewhere, somehow you are breaking a law, code, ordinance…

Way back in about 1964 I wrote a high school term paper that required using the local courthouse law library. The library consisted of a thin notebook of local ordinances, and thin book of State law, a few volumes of Federal law and a few volumes of the Code of the Federal Register. The whole deal took up only a couple feet of shelf space.
I recently checked the local public library for a law. City ordinances were contained in 5 thick volumes. State law took up several feet of space and the Federal laws and regulations (only partially complete) took up several shelves. The US Tax Code was not included.
As long as our Representatives are referred to as “Law Makers” the trend will continue.
