We live in a law-happy society where we all seem so hell-bent on making more and more laws restricting everything we do. Just in today's paper, a legislator is proposing a law that would prevent violence to health care workers. I have nothing against health care workers, and I certainly don't want to inflict violence on them, but don't we already have laws against violence? It's against the law to murder, assault, batter, plot to murder, and all that? Why do we need more laws specifically for health care workers?
What it seems we don't have is enough people to enforce the laws. What's say we get rid of half the lawyers and hire more police?
