A passage:
Our subject today is the titling of proposed and enacted laws, and how this often bizarre packaging and labeling unfairly and deceptively characterizes the actual contents of the law.
And some examples:
- An Act to Add Yet Another Law to the Hundreds Already on The Books Addressing the Same Subject, Because Passing Laws is Easy, but Enforcing Laws is Hard and Requires Real Leadership
- An Act to Compromise the Privacy Rights of The Innocent While Strengthening the Privacy Rights of The Guilty
- An Act Clearly Misnamed to Escape Public Notice
- An Act to Eliminate the Consequences of Personal Irresponsibility
- An Act to Encourage Unemployment as a Desirable Lifestyle Choice
