I just brought this up because my sister has to get rid of a refrigerator, but I have thought of it before. As you know kids used to climb into refrigerators and close the door, those doors had latches on them and would not open from the inside and kids died. So they said you have to take the door off when you throw it out. Well now they all use embedded magnets in the seal so itt is easy to push the door open from the inside. Of course with the gross neglect today some kids might not realize the have to breathe and just stay in there.
But I reminded that one state had anti-Gay laws as late as a couple of years ago and actually had sting operations with undercover officers busting people for it. People were up in arms about Russia's law, which only says you cannot promote homosexuality to minors. I guess the won't be watching Sesame Street over there not that Bert and Ernie are more than just roomies.
There are laws against sodomy, and no exclusion for your Wife, if she happens to be willing. Laws against French kissing. Laws that say it is only legal to beat your Wife on Sunday.
So anyway, it should be that all laws expire in say, six years. Make these fucking legislators WORK. I mean even murder. The declaration says you have the right to life, but it is congress which determines the punishment for those who take that right from others. So some people want the death penalty and others don't. Well the legislators should represent you every six years or whatever whne they rewrite the law against murder.
The PATRIOT ACT had a built in expiration date. But they renewed it. Now it falls on them, not just the peope who passed it the first time.
There is a joke floating around on the internet something like "Number of words in the Ten Commandments, number of words in the Bill of rights, number of words in the regulations regarding the sale of a head of cabbage".
Make them rewrite that shit every six years and I bet it gets trimmed to the point we can understand it. There are times when you are in court and can go up to the judge with the exact text of the law and ask "Just what the fuck does this mean ?" and he cannot tell you. And he is supposed to make a decision that greatly affects your future based on a law he does not understand ?
Sounds like congress with this "We have to pass it to see what's in it" bullshit. There should have been riots. In fact when they made keeping gold illegal there should have been riots. In fact Women went out in the streets protesting the US' involvement in WW2, know what happened to them ? They got thrown in jail. But the laws under which they were incarcerated still exist today.
As does the Alien And Sedition Act. That got passed when the ink on the Constitution was not even dry.
So I propose that laws, ALL LAWS expire in say six years. That way congress has to maintain law and order otherwise theft and murder become legal, and they will not have time to fuck up more things.
What's more, each bill/law is ONE page. Single spaced with 12 point bold text. That is all you get. If ignorance of the law is no excuse then make the law understandable, instead of referring to page 1,247 for an exclusion or some shit. If ignorance of the law is no excuse, what does that mean ? We all need a law degree to walk down the street ? We all need law degrees like Obama who has no fucking idea of the spirit and/or intent of the Constitution ?
And this election. I bet neither candidate has ever read the Constitution that they will swear to uphold. And congress, how come it is OK to bribe them ? You bribe a city inspector they go to jail. (if they get caught) How is it that it is OK to bribe congress ? What the fuck ?
