I like #10 regarding margarine vs. butter. This goes to show how silly legislatures can be. Wisconsin is a dairy state, so its legislature strives to preserve the integrity of dairy products -- of which margarine is not a member and butter is.
The whole discussion of stupid laws proves why I think that a super-majority vote should be required to pass any law -- it makes it much more likely that only really needed laws are passed.
Perhaps the biggest flaw in our system is that it is easier to pass a law than it is to remove it from the books. Over time, simple math tells us that an infinite number of laws will be passed -- certainly too much of a burden to place on citizens who wish to abide by the law.
