The conscience/un-conscience goal of each and every 'Executive', 'Judicial', and 'Legislative' law maker; and, the unspoken moto or creed that should be hanging over each and every subject personnel's work place. -- Mike, Norwalk

The U.S. has millions of laws, regulations and ordinances. More than ANY other country in the world. -- Joe, Rochester, MI
And in the end, the stretch is too great to dictate every behavior, and the system collapses. -- E Archer, NYC

To differ with a Roman is to tempt fate. Here I go! In ANY organization, as situations arise, questions of how, why, who, when, etc. do blossom. God gave us 10 commandments, but we can't display them in a public space. When everyone does the right or correct or honest or whatever thing, the need to provide laws does not exist. If no questions arise, no laws need to be written. There's the rub. Think of the everyday questions that arise. Where can I park my car? First off, it should be "may." That's a rule of grammar. Is grammar thus corrupt? You may park on the street. How about during snow storms? Oops, not until the streets are cleared of snow from curb to curb. Why go on? It is not a corrupt state that makes laws necessary. It generally is people asking for something. It's like the joke about Bill Clinton meeting with the pope. Bill announced the meeting a success with agreement on many things. The pope was troubled as agreement had not been reached on all ten commandments. Go figure. -- J. B. Wulff, Bristol
As if we don't already have too many laws passed by congress, we have a Supreme Court that hands out so many numerous "court orders" and liberal interputations that don't even come close to what is written in our Constitution! -- cal, lewisville, tx
There are so many laws now that even the Judges don't know half of them. There are so many laws now that we are all technically guilty of something at all times.
And that is the goal of a corrupt state, to be able to arrest / detain anyone for any reason at any time. Its all about control, and power over people. -- J Carlton, Calgary
This is off topic, but I have to share it. I 1948 cartoon on Freedom in America: http://nationaljuggernaut.blogspot.com/2009/09/this-cartoon-seemed-far-fetched-in-1948.html -- J Carlton, Calgary
Yes, it's like telling lies, once told you need to remember it so you write it into law. And then you need more lies to cover the original lie - it's called our legal system. -- RBESRQ
Well, that pretty much sums up the modern USA! -- Anonymous
And Pelosi, Reed and the rest of the Jackals are passing new laws all
the time. -- jim k, austin
J B Wulff is on the right track. But I will take a different tack. Since I believe that the people, the citizenry are the state, I agree that when the people are corrupt or unrighteous (failue to be right doing) more laws need to be written and enforced than when the people are righteous and self governing. In heaven the Bible says all will be in complete obedience to the will and laws of God. Could we hope for such a condition here on earth at least in reference to doing right, then laws will disappear. The state is the people, corrupt people make a corrupt state. -- Waffler, Smith
Twisted again Waffler. You attended the Hillary Clinton school didn't you? The statement is factual on every level. And the state is all about controlling people to the point of slavery. -- J Carlton, Calgary
Five "Wow´s", too! -- Elisabeth, Astoria, NY

The "State", being a legal fiction is made up of natural born freemen who are elected into political offices which are again, legal fictions. Therefore, in order to have a a corrupt State, the legal fictions are the only ones who can be corrupt and so being they write the thousands of laws that make the freeman corrupt if he does not kowtow to the myraid of laws the corrupt fictions have created to control and pillage everyman of his rights and other property. A corrupt State has to begin with corrupt politicians. -- Anon
