A boy jumps from the bed of a truck. Fire engulfs an apartment. We have innumerable laws telling us what we cannot do, and they don't work.
Murder is illegal, yet people still kill.
Prostitution is illegal, yet streetwalkers patrol Waikiki. Prisons burst at the seams, yet people still commit crimes. Jaywalking is illegal, yet people jaywalk. Nanny government has brought forth airbag, seatbelt and helmet laws. Nanny government orders us to seat our kids in the back largely to protect against airbags mandated by, yes, nanny government.
