jimmysnyder, how about a point system that legislature could be allotted to spend on each law they write. Say, 1 point for each word of a law, with 1000 points to spend. And bonus points awarded for especially effective laws and voter confidence.

Should come up with a spinner, too.

Yeah, kill off all them lousy pot smokers and jay walkers. That will make this a much better nation. The good news is that your prison population will decline. The bad news is that your murder rate will drastically increase. But at least it might save a few dollars.

Now wait a minute, are you saying that pot smokers and jay walkers prevent murder? :bugeye:

If you killed off the jay-walkers in Phila., there wouldn't be anyone left except murderers. The murder rate would go way up, but only for a short while. After that it would be peace and quiet. I'm in.
 
Perhaps this is why the prisons are full

(AP) A Missouri man could potentially face a 30-year prison sentence for stealing a doughnut from a store.

Maybe he should just be executed instead :rolleyes:

Based on prior arrests, it's definitely a death sentence.

People are missing the point. It is not about the doughnut.

My father when asked if he thought OJ Simpson was guilty responded, "I think it's a shame what it costs to prove your innocence these days."

Get rid of victimless crimes.
