DK it seems like the ideal society for you is a feudal society where might makes right. We had this a long time ago, it was a flawed system and barely worked. Hell they have this now in Afghanistan with the tribal warlords and look how well it works for them.

Don't be angry or foolish because i'm showing you the flaws in your logic. Follow me for a minute and try to understand what i'm saying. For decades now, it's been a common belief by both liberal and conservative to make a new or stronger law when the previous law (made in a kneejerk or feelgood atmosphere) gets ignored by someone who wasn't going to follow it anyway. Then, with a newer or stricter law in place, people think 'this will solve all of our issues', yet it happens again....and again....and again. Think the definition of insanity applies. All the while, this newer and stricter set of laws only affects one group of people......simple law abiding citizens because THEY are the only ones who are going to follow those new laws anyway. I'm not advocating abolishing laws against rape or murder just because the crime still happens, but since banning the action or tightening the law isn't working, how about taking action against those that have actually offended?
