VERY strange logic.

I think that's because the govt. is doing far more than it was ever intended to do.
So as the govt. consolidates more and more power for itself, it creates unintended consequences.
For instance, one of the first drug laws was over heroin in the early 1900's. At that time it was manufactured by Bayer and available over the counter at stores.
Congress struggled with the idea of making a law that would tell people what they could and couldn't do with their own bodies.
Their was debate over whether the Govt. even had that power. (seems quaint these days when the govt. regulates everything you do).
Anyway, once they opened that door...they then created tons of new problems that they had to enact new laws to "fix".
And then it becomes more and more complicated with each year as they try to pass new laws to fix the new problems that the old laws created and then the new laws create even more problems! (for instance, the drug war has brought on violence across the country and the Mexican border...and after all these decades, the govt.'s answer it to make even more laws and they even want to build a wall!)
Probably need a "reset" button to get rid of thousands and thousands of laws in this country and get a little more common sense. Get the government back into the business of governing instead of trying to rule over us.
