“Because just as good morals, if they are to be maintained, have need of the laws, so the laws, if they are to be observed, have need of good morals.” —Niccolo Machiavelli
“The laws of man may bind him in chains or may put him to death, but they never can make him wise, virtuous, or happy.” —John Quincy Adams
“No one ever heard of the truth being enforced by law. When the secular is called in to sustain an idea, whether new or old, it is always a bad idea, and not infrequently it is downright idiotic.” —H. L. Mencken
“If you have 10,000 regulations, you destroy all respect for the law.” —Sir Winston Churchill
I have to believe that when so many of the great thinkers from the past believe as I do that I cannot be in such bad company. It seems in this day and age that a new law is the answer to anything. A law to stop the President from performing his duties as required by the Constitution. A law to stop Americans from having their Rights as defined by the Constitution. A law to ensure that medications are as pure as the driven snow. A law that decides when your son or daughter is, or is not a person. A law that says that you, as an individual cannot make your own liquor but you can if your family is connected politically. A law that defies human development. Where the hell will it end?
