Every time the government adds a new law it gains in power, and the American public loses power*. And the excuse? “It’s for the protection, and care of the citizens of these United States” – remember George Orwell? His world was filled with laws protecting the citizens of that country – to the point that… Having a bunch of lawbreakers running around in the world and a bunch of new laws isn’t the answer… Producing people who act soundly and sanely and keeping laws to a minimum – that’s the answer!! And it’s not going to happen – first and foremost, with both parents out of the house. The result of that is going to be more law breakers and more laws. George Orwell likely saw this coming – ANYTHING WITH NO END IN SITE (which by the way completely violates the law of moderation, in a collective sense of course) is ultimately doomed to fail! It’s certainly not going to resemble anything close to what it did at the start! America was considered “A diamond in the rough”. From the time she was established, and for almost two centuries that followed, ever polishing, ever honing her… One of the things that was so beautiful about America was the lack of too many laws and founded upon the vast majority of its’ citizenry having minimal moral standards (at the very least) – and respect for “the law”. It seems to me that people back then were more grounded, saying, and less pressure. And if you want to use pressure as an excuse for changes in behavior then I strongly suggest we start doing something about this pressure. Some people say you can’t go back in time… Well if that’s your response to all the negative changes going on in our world today then I feel sorry for you.

*By people running around acting inappropriately (the more creative people are becoming in acting inappropriately – and yes, we human beings are busy practicing creativity in all areas of life) they are paving the way for more and more laws to be created. And this new attitude where we don’t judge or criticize other people (it’s called holding each other accountable – or peer pressure)… It’s only paving the way for more of these types of behaviors to go unrestrained, unbridled. I’m sure Lex Luthor would be very pleased among other…).

I heard something about a law or a policy in place with regard to filmmaking where the bad guy always has to lose because to allow otherwise would encourage crime.
