Common Sense – My Logic
We have become a society that is heavily dependent on regulation. There are laws on the books that defy common sense yet we have to follow them or become a victim of the criminal justice system and face fines or imprisonment for acts contrary to such laws. These laws are so numerous, so contradictory to common sense and so burdensome, we bump into to them whichever way we turn. I suspect this was mere design and motive to gather fees, fines and revenue...s.
American justice systems are suffocating the people and forcing them in some type of lawlessness or anarchy. Instead of the laws protecting us, they have been imposed for political and stupid reasons. The mere fact that many were legislated and turned into laws was based on stupidity and caprice that dominates our lives today with politicians wishing to rule every aspect of our personal and private lives. No doubt that today, society belongs to the government with its intrusive laws and ridiculous enforcement tools given to collect debts, fees and fines for every single infraction incurred without an exception.
This formulation of laws run contradictory to common sense yet it seems to prevail to a large degree. We are living under a concept called the laws of unintended consequences meaning that when applied, it may not fall under the original concept the law was drafted, and reasons implemented but regardless, impact every aspect of our lives, death, taxes and other certainties of co-existing on our society.
In an effort to improve life, government has hampered and infringed on lives in so many cases and this defeats the very basic reason for having such laws. One can almost ensure that for every law on the books, there is a criminal waiting to break it. In fact, some laws feed into the purpose of criminality as it proposes to give profit to the lawbreaker instead of the law abiding citizen reaping from such orders.
A black market exists for the purposes of profit and whenever an item is outlawed, the demand rise beyond normal profit rates and provide hefty rewards for those who risk to break these laws. Marijuana is such an example. The cost of marijuana is much higher in the states where it is illegal than those regions where the purchase of such a plant or drug is legal.
The underlying reasons for bad laws are shallow minded, religiously influenced and disconnect public officials who depend on lobbyist to determine what is good or bad for society. The unmarked label of profit is never exposed until the end but regardless how or why a law is implemented, there is always a hidden motive for such a direction.
Common sense should rule whenever a bill is drafted to become law and unfortunately, whenever a bill is drafted, nobody looks at the side effects of such actions that may create a bigger problem, either institutionally or financially, these unanticipated harmful side effect come with every law, no exceptions noted.
