That's an incredibly ridiculous argument. Because we might want to simplify our legal code to, say, not make it a 2-year-in-prison federal felony to misplace paperwork about orchids, with no criminal intent, we're in immanent danger of decriminalizing child labor?
I'm responding to an argument that we could do just as well with 100 laws as we can with tens of thousands. You're reading it as an argument that our current laws are good.
I can simultaneously believe that we have many unjust or incompetent laws on the books and not be a libertarian.
Seriously?
