stupid laws or laws enforced stupidly

You know, I just can't seem to stay outta trouble......

Everywhere I go, trouble seems to follow....

And I don't know HOW the hell I'm supposed to be good when everywhere I go,
they've got such STUPID LAWS.


( Opinion.......

Of course, most of these laws are out of date and aren't being generally enforced, but they're still on the books.

My personal feeling is that State and Federal Government should stop passing new laws until they get rid of all the old, unenforcable, or just plain STUPID laws already on the books. (----- marijuana laws included. )

Right now, ANY average citizen could conceiveably be arrested using one of these laws or ones just like them.... that kind of selective enforcement is a dangerous power in any society, and this one ain't exactly got a clean record on that kinda thing, anyway. )
