A component of survival for the U.S. is to be in a constant state of flux. If everyone woke up tomorrow completely satisfied the US and most of the world would soon collapse. Everyone needs the latest fads, clothes and technology - any proposal to drop out would be met with deadly force. It has gone from a culture of freedom to a state of enforcement and that enforcement is a big business. If there are not a enough laws on their own books to enforce they will borrow new laws from other places. "The Lacey Act makes it a crime to import plants or wildlife into the United States if those goods were obtained in a way that breaks the laws of another country. In Gibson’s case, U.S. Fish and Wildlife said the company is suspected of obtaining illegally logged ebony and rosewood from Madagascar and unfinished wood from India. Gibson has denied the charges." thehill.com
