every law, decree and rule that the government imposes onto the society takes away one more decision from the people. the more laws we get, the less choices we can make, so we make less of them as things have been decided for us. this means we are getting dumber as we use less of our brains to actually think and make meaningful decisions. in the end, this produces weak and dumb society that is ripe for overtaking by barbarians, which is what is going on outside of our windows right now.
