This is the drawback with so much law today. The idea that law should not be on the books longer than necessary never occurs to anyone, but I truly believe we would be better off if laws had sunset provisions where we could actually consider whether they were still necessary.

Just because a law was necessary in 1965 doesn't mean we need it permanently, where it can become the basis of other law with totally different intents.

And we're seeing that play out now where other classes feel they need to be "protected" because they exist, not because they are really being injured in any way. I really offended a gay friend by asking him why he thought he needed to be protected by the government. But it is a legitimate question. Is anyone requiring him to sit at the back of the bus? I'm pretty sure they're not.
