Todays thought - Laws

Every society has or should have laws. It makes for an orderly society. I would hope it is majority rules. Makes it fair for most of the people. Correct?
So now I look around and so many laws are broken. For one thing are cops guided or are they to lazy to to give out a speeding ticket unless forced onto the duty. Example: Why should I give out a ticket when we have cameras? I could be out looking for drunk drivers, seat belt violators and drug pushers.
People can be apathetic but it is the law. If you don't like a law protest with other like minded people and have it changed. Vote out the idiot making the law.
Said it before. So many laws are just ignored. I can understand it. Try to prove someone is texting while driving instead of talking on the phone. Against the law here in Toledo. How do you prove it.
Then stupid court rulings. See unkbill jokes for today's laugh.

After thought Just had a few nephews here. Why do children come visit in the winter and you have to tell them everytime to close the door. Don't let the heat out. But in the summer when you are trying to cool the house off you can't get them to leave the door open?

Because so many laws these days are crap and not worth any respect. The only good laws are those that are extremely limited in their scope and extremely necessary in their application. But lawmakers being typical bureaucrats feel like they have to keep making new laws to justify their holding office. So they just keep piling it on and it's now perfectly natural for the people to treat the law with contempt.

Writing laws that are damned near unenforceable in a reasonable sense is a sign that perhaps your legislators need a swift kick to the balls to wake them up.
