Proposition: Laws make things worse
Cold remedies are made difficult for normal people to get to fight Meth and the Meth trade gets bigger and more violent as Mexican drug gangs take up the slack.
We make it ridiculously hard for talented people to emigrate to the United States and we end up with 11 million more unskilled illegal immigrants.
We make it impossible for citizens to own and carry firearms and illegal gun crimes continue apace.
All these laws inconvenience or endanger the people who try to obey the laws and reward the people most willing to break them.
It makes you wonder whose side our legislators are on.
