Streamlining laws

Name: Anonymous 2005-09-06 16:04

Every year new laws and bills are created.  Many stay with us for decades until a conflict or discrepancy draws attention to them.  Others have complex loopholes or work negatively in combination with other bills.  Those involved in Law must study and memorize countless volumes of laws that accumulate each year.

Why can't the government take a step to streamline their backlog of laws and bills, taking out redundancies and obsolescence.  The more bills that get added, the more government turns into a manipulative bureaucracy of stagnant tedious paperwork.  Like Canada.

There are no long-term socialist-communist ideas. They are unproven, and always, ultimately fail. Besides that socialism is an inherently anthropocentric movement, which would sacrifice trees for humans, fish for humans, pollution standards for humans, etc... if pressed to do so.

You are absolutely fucking retarded. Your implication that progress leads to better, more efficient ways of doing things is obviously true, but think one microsecond into the future of that better, more efficient world.

A world where cars use 1% less gas will have 1% more driving. A world where a square kilometer of land grows 10% more food will grow to have 10% more people. Ever worked at a factory? I canned tomatoes for a living for 2 years, and we were constantly getting labor-saving inventions that allowed us to be 1%, and 4%, and 6% more efficient with this process and that method, but did they increase our wages commensurately? did they shorten our shifts? did they reduce the hours per year that the plant was open? No, they laid off 1%, and 4%, and 6% of the labor force. I'm not complaining, I prefer my job now to a great degree, I'm just explaining the way the world actually works, since you seem oblivious.

Increases in efficiency never result in a savings of resources, only an increase in their utilization.
