Laws don’t work

Say people elected and paid to pass and enforce them

Mocking gun activists, Stonekettle (Jim Wright) tweets, “Laws against drunk driving don’t work. The only thing that stops a drunk driver is more good people willing to drive drunk.

Like masks that way. Masks don’t work, said people ideologically opposed to mask mandates.

Ever get the impression that conservatives who have accused the left of moral relativism since Bill Buckley (before “projection” became a comeback) would rather enforce laws on a case-by-case basis against out-groups not of their tribe? Me too.

I really have much less beef with people who say, my rights are my rights, fuck you. That person is at least clear on their priorities. This the laws don’t work is such malevolent bullshit it really points up how terrible the person in question really is.

And yet they persist in running for office for the chance to pass and enforce laws:

Matt Taibbi wrote of two Americas in “Griftopia,”one for the grifter class and one for everybody else. In everybody-else land … the government is something to be avoided.” For the grifter class, government is “a tool for making money.”

Equal justice for all or resign.
