kudos:3 | said by Devanchya:Anyone else just concerned that we are dealing with a 2000+ technical issue, based on a law written in 1934... when not even half the country had telephones... and computers barely existed, yet alone talked to each other. Really? How so? The laws were updated back in the 90's last I checked.
And to go one step further, MUCH of our laws are based on old written laws.. ever read the date on the constitution?  |

| The constitution I read had a date yes. But it was hard to read that part. The lighting at the New York library is a bit dim 
Maybe it's the last dying rebel in me as I grow older... but I think network law should be written by lawyers who are technically astute... and not in the pocket of a company.
I still stay that Laws should have a "must be reviewed by (date)" statement for every one of them

kudos:3 | I agree with the "must be reviewed by" date on all laws..
My point, however, on the constitution, is that the document, or "set of laws" date back to when the country was pretty much started... we live by those laws today, so are they out dated?
I think all laws should have a sunset date on them. Seriously, it would stop congress from having to make new laws to go on top of old laws. The problem we have in our government is that we DO have laws on top of laws.. we don't need "new" laws.. we just need to either enforce the laws we already have OR, update the ones we already have..
I think laws, however, shouldn't be written by lawyers in the first place.. they should be written by the people we elected to write them. While many of them ARE lawyers these days, which is 90% of our problem to begin with, we just really need those in the position to do these jobs to actually do the work and STOP delegating everything off to everyone else to do. Otherwise, why do we have these idiots? Sell off Congress for real this time, and abolish that body of government and turn it directly over to the parties and let their lawyers right laws... oh wait, that's what we already have.. never mind. |
