In general you can not legislate values. The laws of nature are the only laws that truley govern behavior.
Do we actually think that wolves guarding a hen house will pass a rule against eating chicken? Well, actually they would. If the farmer believed them, the farmer is the one truely to blame, isn't he?
People will do what is in their best interest. If we, the people, do not hold our politicians accountable for doing what we want them to do we can blame no one. We have to make sure that what is in the politician's best interest is what is in our best interest. The real problem is too much power centralized in Washington. Today the average person never gets an opportunity to even shake hands with a congress person, forget about actually talking to one. We have let the system get out of control.
