Not for about a century and a half. We have so many laws that no one can keep them straight. I probably break more than a few laws every day, and these are the ones I break inadvertently. We won t even discuss my scofflaw propensities. This is what comes of having lawyers dominating every branch of the government, of course.
Lawyers love laws, especially silly, long, vaguely-worded ones.
They bring in the big bucks, those laws. Just ask any unarmed citizen who s been shot by the machine-gun carrying militarized police. The only difference between those countries and this is we do not yet have huge pictures of the Dictator all over the place. If Algore becomes president, I suspect that may change. That was very funny coming from him.
