No, the reason we have laws is because politics and corruption and crime is intristic to society. They are the reality of human condition which can't go away and we can't ignore, so we have to deal with it.

They are the reality of human condition which can't go away and we can't ignore, so we have to deal with it. Public corruption is intrinsic to government action, but the way you constrain it isn't by passing laws that limit the public, it's by limiting what laws can be passed by the government. > I had in mind the part of the "media" which "rebels against the media", Noam Chomskies and Michael Moores of the world. Chomsky probably isn't a great example of over-simplifying things. Many of his criticisms are legitimate. But having a legitimate criticism of the status quo is a different thing than having a viable solution.
