> That's why societies have laws. So we can know what to do or not when faced with such questions instead of passing the burden to the individual under the guise that it's "freeing people". Yes, but laws can be devastating just as easily. In an age where the abuse and misuse of the ever-growing body of laws is so rampant, I cannot help to think that having even more badly written laws is a good solution. Legislation is at best a necessary evil: a baggage, a clunky, heavy stone which you have to lug with you all day, every day. It serves a purpose, but you want to have as little of it as possible.
