Why have laws...
I have been reading various posts about laws and the enforcement of these laws by "LEO's". LOL... that's why we have 'em... not one of y'all can agree what proper behavior or ettiquette (how we treat or respect other individuals) is... everyone wants the freedom to do their own "thing". Laws are guideline that have come about in order to serve the needs or wants of the "majority" of citizens... some are good guidelines some are not so good. BUT all come about because another individual or group of individuals has decided that it is OK to disrespect another individual or group of individuals. If we all could behave in a way not offensive to others, ie... Do unto others as you would have others do unto you... then there would be fewer written guidelines (laws) and less of a need to "POLICE" them. I am not perfect, but I have NOTHING in common with individuals that "intentionally disregard" the laws that have been developed by their society... If you do not like the law, work to change it... it was written for a reason, but that reason may not still be valid. Quit whining and write your congressmen, demonstrate in the streets, be part of the solution not part of the problem....

Way too many people today think the world revolves in their own back yard.It's the new generation,of course there a lot of all kinds of people who feel the same way.We just have to learn to live with it.

RE: Why have laws...
laws are written today to do one of a few things.
1. make money (fines, ect)
2. cater to a certain group (alcohol vs pot type issues)
guess number 2 is about making money also... looks like only one thing then.

What then would we do with all of the out of work cops, judges and attorneys?. They have no real skills that would qualify them for any other work.

RE: Why have laws...
Families of apes and most other critters that live in social groups have laws. But they aremostlyLibertarians: only have laws for basic protections of the individuals and pack. They don't impose laws on their packs that damage individual freedoms.
Lots of packs of human beings take good basic protection laws, that we do need, and try to build on them to move into heavy control of others' lives and freedoms. Then the next step is punishment of those who don't think, look, smell, etc. the same way the current leader does.
Just wait til you see the crap that President HRod rolls out to try to punish America and make you as angry and miserable in life as she is.
Oops, sorry! Dang, I need another shot of black coffee and Jelly Bellys to settle down!
