STUPID Laws For STUPID People:

 One difference between shooting and politics is that a shooter actually needs to impact the selected target - whereas a politician just needs an image of them making the moves and noises .. while for them more cash drops into their piggy-banks & life moves on without anyone checking the targets.

The career politician will have told everyone what a great shot she always is - so you won't need to bother questioning her results.

It is fascinating how folk accept that our MPs know best to govern us all .. whereas at election times the pretense is that we all live in a democracy and we 'self determine' our future direction while our wise rulers set the policies for ever

U S Law Making: 

So our "Governments" make Laws that are meant to improve  our lives .. but nobody checks how well they are working or questions the results.

In the UK 2010 they introduced & passed 3,506 new laws in one year - But I can't find any records for New Zealand yet - so I'll consider one only ..

AN ELECTED PRIME MINISTER.

In 1994 NZ Bicycle Helmets were made MANDATORY .. the immediate result was a HALFING IN CYCLIST NUMBERS but a DOUBLING OF THE INJURY RATE.

- Why is this abysmally stupid Helmet Law not reviewed, amended and cancelled - especially when Government says that we need to get our polluting cars off the roads? .. Because they don't want to admit ANY failure of their OMNIPOTENCE.

If the results of the political power games were to be examined and corrected just once .. they would then have to cancel all the ineffective stupid GUN BANS and restrictive new laws they've brought-in over the last 100 years.

When you look at things quietly .. government propaganda & commercial advertising campaigns are deliberately aimed at "the hard of thinking" emotionally led simpletons .. Because they are the poor suckers most easily persuaded - whereas educated thinking adults will make-up their own minds based on reason and experience from their lives.

.. I once worked with a moron who said " I LIKE the adverts on TV 'cos they're better fun than most of the programs."
