ORIGINAL: Karri More laws more prisons and prisoners. I kinda wish we returned back to some kind of ten commandment solution. 10 commandments alone aren't enough. Did you know that laws define such things as width of roads and how much weight bridges need to hold? 10 commandments don't define that. Still following them won't get people into harm. And I've been taught about them in the schools. Matti, there is a difference between a law and a regulation (or requirement). Though, it has been muddled and executives believe they can circumvent law by issuing regulations, law should trump all. The Ten Commandments are laws that keep people from becoming their base human natures. My favorite "law/rule" is "do unto others what you want others to do unto you". If someone treats you like crap because you treated them that way, you have no one to blame but yourself. If someone treats you like crap because they operate from their base human self, then you can blame them, dust yourself off and move on to better things. As far as your "bridge" is concerned, safety creates regulations. And, there is an old saying; "the more numerous the laws, the more corrupt the state." The US Constitution is roughly seventeen double spaced typed pages. It created a Nation like no other. The Health Care Law is over ten thousand pages, with footnotes pointing to numerous bills passed into law over the course of years. Chew on that? I think it is better to get back to the simple laws and the simple way of doing things. As Karri said, more laws, more law breakers, more prisoners, and more prisons. Which means more money from less people to try and then house/feed the criminals? That is an enormous cost burden on society. Similar in the vein of the thread. Creating rules/laws that give a person who is unqualified the same "right" to perform a job that they simply cannot do, and which may cost the lives of others, because they are a different gender (and someone felt bad that they did not have the opportunity) is simply the madness of going down the politically correct rabbit hole. Corporations might be made to be held to a quota standard, so many of this gender and so many of this race, because lives are not at stake. But, in my world, the military and corporations should be able to put the "best qualified" candidates in place so that the job gets done better. The other way is simply a form of the "corrupt state" infusing itself where it does not belong. RR
