RE: Steemit Basic Income Giveaway (Rules and Laws)

in #newbiegames • 6 years ago

Plenty of engagement going on here!

I have a friend who was fined for doing 33 mph in a 30 zone in the UK, on a pedal bike...

Pretty ridiculous if you ask me!

Generally though, I appreciate there are rules and laws, the place would fall apart without them I think. I can think of a few is like to see abolished in the UK - marijuana consumption is one.

I hope the personal life improves for all and you've can grab some more sleep soon!

    Thanks! This post has kept me pretty busy this week which probably was the boost that got me to go the lucky 7 spot...

    It's amazing that your friend got for speeding on their bike, after all the kinetic energy stored in a fast moving is not really comparable to a car! I'm surprised they even triggered the speed trap in the first place! Were they able to get an exception?

    Anyway, I do agree with the sentiment that rules and laws are necessary and that a large scale society would find it difficult to remain coherent without them. In the other hand, we are falling somewhat short of the ideal in creating and evolving these laws. There does seem to be a bit of vested interest (aka corruption) involved in the creation process and the evolution and testing of laws are limited by the relatively high financial and time requirements for challenging them.

    Hopefully this disenchantment with the whole process doesn't lead to throwing the baby out with the bathwater...
