40,000 New Laws This Year - Better Read Up!
That’s right, over 40 thousand of them:

Legislatures in all 50 states, the District of Columbia, Guam, the Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico met in 2009, leading to the enactment of 40,697 laws, many of which take effect January 1.

And remember that ignorance of the law is no excuse. Time to start reading. It’s for your own good anyway.

1. And 99% will be little tiny stoopid crap! Who thinks of this shit?

My state has a new one. Starting Jan 1st it's against the law to have your windshield wipers on without having your lights on too! Some safety nazi thought we didn't have enough to worry about so he came up with this winner.

We need to form a political group that's dedicated to doing only ONE THING! Removing all the unnecessary bullshit laws from the books!

2. Most Americans are unaware of new laws or current laws.
Trying to read a State law code is just asking to get carpel-tunnel syndrome.
