Literally everything we do is in violation of some law. Just which ones? Who knows?
Quote:
“If the federal government can’t even count how many laws there are, what chance does an individual have of being certain that they are not acting in violation of one of them?
“…did you know that it is a federal crime (http://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/16/3372) to be in possession of a lobster under a certain size? It doesn’t matter if you bought it at a grocery store, if someone else gave it to you, if it’s dead or alive, if you found it after it died of natural causes, or even if you killed it while acting in self defense. You can go to jail because of a lobster.”
“You probably do have something to hide, you just don’t know it yet.”
Taxcutter says:
The federal government has put all of us in legal jeopardy. Even if we don’t know it.
Taxcutter’s two step plan:
Assuming the federal government cannot show us why we need this level of surveillance the enhanced information gathering against Americans should be immediately defunded and dismantled.
Secondly, there must be a massive purge of all criminal codes. Get the “Jail for lobster” laws off the books.
The first step treats the symptom , but the second step cures the disease.
