Re: It's one thing to make a law...
I could, yes. And so could most people I know. What would happen to all the people out there with no independent thinking skills is a scary thought. It would probably become quite violent and ugly in short order.
Back on topic. Trying to paper the cracks with legislature is disgusting. As an Australian, I really wish we had an actual say in how our government is run. To date about the most powerful tool we have is change.org because it can draw enough attention to an issue that if we are very lucky the people involved will decide it will look worse for their career if they ignore it than assert their authority and demonstrate their power over the people.
Remember the whole medicinal marijuana thing recently? They agreed under immense pressure to put it through and ensured that the law was functionally useless when passed.
All we have going on is yet another clumsy attempt to assert authority by people that couldn't look after a pet rock.
