...and we have much more than 10,000!

    I respect the law, the 10,000 plus contemptible, malignant, etc. regulations are beneath respect.
     -- Mike, Norwalk

    The two really are unrelated... bad laws destroy the respect for the law... bad leaders who ignore the laws destroy the respect for the law (and here I'm talking about illegal acts in the leader's official roles, not oral sex which is really immaterial to the offical role)... regulations can be numerous in reasonable ways (e.g. covering a wide variety of areas) or in bad ways (e.g. covering a narrow slice of life)... there is no clear corelation here to respect for the law, especially when most people are unaware of regulations in their daily life.

    I know...you all just want the one regulation: Do as you please. Great idea. I will get my guns ready.

    And Reid, Pelosi and the gang are busy passing more laws, and how about a jillion executive orders from the White House.

    10,000 regulations and .. a proliferation of unlawful federal regulating bureaucracies and their regulators armed to the teeth like para-military storm troopers out to savage and shred the law and the individuals constitutionally protected unalienable and natural rights.
     -- Mary - MI
