eral tears he could put forth his energy into undoing what generations of no-gooders have done for us.
Now don’t get me wrong, some laws are good. I can think of nine or 10 right off. But beyond that things tend to get “hairy.” How about this: All new laws enacted should be subject to review and/or repeal... or at least a re-vote. After, say a year, if the law proves itself ok, vote it back in. If it doesn’t, it becomes void. Didn’t work ... no good . . . dead law. The way it now works every law is a locked door. After a few years these antiquated laws become stumbling blocks. (Remember grandma’s glasses?) There is a volume dedicated to such laws published for its humor. But it really isn’t funny when one of these statutes reaches out and grabs at you.
Now reviewing the validity of all current legislation every year (of course now they’re all current) would be quite time consuming.
So much so that our beloved legislators would be devoting much time and good tax dollars to just that. In fact, they possibly wouldn’t have so much time on their hands to levy new ones . . . say, now, there’s an idea.
