The
first problem is that JUST passing a law in reflex to an issue that is either
not related to the initial "problem" or is only marginally
associated, means that the law being passed is a bad law. It doesn't fix or
address the initial "problem" and likely creates worse unintended
consequences. Prohibition is a prime example.
The
other first problem with passing bad law is that rarely if EVER is a bad law
removed from the books. We just keep stacking more and more bad laws on top of
bad laws.
Using
political points to try to solve social issues only exacerbates the social
ills. The only reason these bad laws are passed is for political power and to
have the politicians try to justify their jobs by doing something. Even if it
is ineffectual and wrong....it is still something......"See!! Re elect
ME!"
