Streamlining laws

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.

The purpose of government is to tap the intrinsic power of human coalitions, this is why bureaucracy is and has always been more arcane in the most powerful countries.

It's important to have this tap, to prevent human beings from ever reaching the fruits of their labors, because when human beings get what they want right when they want it, inevitably they get genocide.

No matter how nice you are, the inevitable result of all of your "productivity" is the necessity of more of Earth's limited resources, and you will get them the same way everyone else through-out the history of the human race has gotten them: by taking them from someone else. Another historical lesson you can learn is that people don't like giving their stuff up, usually they'll kill and die for it, and maybe resent you for a couple of hundred years afterwards.

A stream-lined system is one step away from an autocracy dictatorship, and an autocracy is one step away from a dictatorship. Confusion, selfishness, Eris: it's the only thing that keeps us from all getting together and deciding that we just *need* those trees more than Canada, and we *need* that oil more than Iraq.

Even the most skeptical individual here has to admit that what g.w. did is a far-cry from what he could have done, had he had dictatorial power.
