My main problem with the current laws is that they could only be enforced effectively by extremely draconian measures. Same as my problem with the drug laws, really. Unenforceable laws just breed disrespect for the rule of law.

Yes, it seems like a broken system where everybody is wrong/wronged. Definitely needs an upgrade!
