Someone else making the decision for you is a good description for laws, which we decided a long time ago we would in fact have. It's weird how people come out of the woodwork like this when those laws start to point at rich people.

There's surely a difference between a system in which the population gets to pick who writes the laws and one in which they don't?

The way a farmer decides what their pigs eat is far from the way a caring lover chooses their partner's dinner.

Stupid obsolete laws that stay on the books forever is seemingly the American way and occasionally we refresh them with new even stupider laws that were obsolete before they were even proposed.
