I cant say all are true but even if 10% is it is dumb beyond reason.. |
Like I said, there are many many areas of government intervention in the US that I am also very much against.
Having said that, you should be aware that 99% of those laws are quite old, (often over 100 years), no one has bothered to remove them from the books, and they have not been enforced for many decades. If any officer tried to arrest or fine people for it, any judge would throw it out, or award no penalty, while then suggesting to the local legistlature that the law be removed.
