General (General discussion, talk about anything.)
Dave,you could take that a stage further and examine the mental state of some of the people who vote for these politicians.In recent years here in Oz, some jurisdictions have clearing out some of the old English common laws from their statute books as they no longer apply.I recall that a few years ago I read that a British or former British territory near the equator,repealed the law on the slope of the roof,which had it to be 30degrees? so that the snow would slide off.As for the "crazy" laws in the US we must remember that many of the older ones are based on old English common law,not quite sure about the nuclear device or elephants and parking meters.In some states the laws are,in my view,an infringement of personal privacy.
