I do firmly believe the laws worked when implemented but change of that magnitude cannot be accomplished overnight.
As I see it, everything goes to the extreme. There never seems to be a happy medium.
Laws are made to protect children from being horrifically abused, but turns into a parent losing their right to disipline their children. Although, children continue to be horrifically abused on a daily basis.
Laws are passed to end discrimination practices in business. They then morph into government dictating to private businesses who they can hire and how much they must pay them. Were women and blacks discriminated against in hiring practices? Absolutely! However...it turned into discrimination of middle-aged white men.
I think it best to get government out of family and private business!
Wearing your T Party T shirt today? lol.
