Each legislative session, too much emphasis is placed on enacting new laws. Clearly, we’d already be living in paradise if more laws were the solution. Free market think tanks and their supporters should expend more effort to get laws, ordinances and counterproductive regulations repealed. Prohibitions against bathing donkeys on Main Street on Sunday make a good first target by offering quick victory potential (for the record, I am pro-donkey and I vote). Further, going after such oddities shows a sense of humor. Simultaneously, we can work to remove, erase, delete and toss out the plethora of legalities that: demonstrate an infringement on freedom of expression, association, religion or other personal freedoms; allow a waste of taxpayer dollars for dubious government expenditures; make it difficult to earn an honest living, create employment opportunities or operate a business; and, are unenforceable or routinely ignored. (Years ago, the Mackinac Center, Cascade Policy Institute and Washington Policy Center held successful state-wide competitions seeking examples of such obstacles.) We would do liberty and ourselves a favor to remember, as The Oregonian correctly editorialized on February 27, 1925, "The worth of a legislature is not to be judged entirely by what it does; it should also be gauged by what it does not do. A great output of laws does not mean a great session." To repeat: Repeal, repeal, repeal.
