"You can rigidly enforce only those laws that most people believe to be good laws, that is, laws that proscribe actions that they would avoid even in the absence of laws. When laws render illegal actions that many or most people regard as moral and proper, they can be enforced only by brute force." -Milton Friedman
[A preponderance of laws also inures a population to the benefits of sound law. Respect for the law declines, and the state becomes full of profligate law breakers.]
