Studying the law, on the outside, seems to be dry as dust. With the archaic wording of the law to the sheer volume of laws to keep track of, it’s easy to dismiss law as only being important to attorneys and those that work for them.

My opinion for this topic is, we should be able to vote and then decide if it should be illegal, not by one person banding it from the law.
