FEW LAWS, STRICTLY ENFORCED | 2004-12-14
I have made a LOT of laws and regulations in my time. I was sitting in a regulatory panel once, and we were laying out guidelines for rules under the Reagan Administration.
One Big Man, a real biggie, laid out the parameters. He said, "We must only have regulations we can actually enforce."
This was serious stuff. Everybody in the room had the necessary grave expression on his face, except for one complete idiot who just had to say something stupid. So that idiot said,
"You know, God Almighty is still trying to enforce ten."
They laughed. I will not tell you who that idiot was.
