Just 2 nitpicks:
1) The law is what a very small group of people decides it should be, and
2) Slippery slopes in law are a very real thing. Just listen to Supreme Court oral arguments. That's (supposedly) why it takes so much forethought and time to enact them.

- mamon 9y agoAs the old saying goes: "If the democratic elections really could make a difference they would have been forbidden by now". American law for example reflects views and interests of small group of oligarchy, and not general public. It's been like that for quite a long time, to quote [1]: "The preferences of the average American appear to have only a minuscule, near-zero, statistically non-significant impact upon public policy" [1] https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2018/03/america-is-not-a-democracy/550931/ https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2018/03/america...
