Real nice, a politician saying that was not the intention of the law. Why not have politicians protecting the citizens from unintended consequences from the laws they create? I thought laws were supposed to be made by politicians who cared about all the consequences of their laws. - thought out laws can be good - careless laws are always bad ! Going by Vallone’s theory it is OK to have a law against watching movies on the internet because some people are breaking the law there, and the other people who get arrested will feel good knowing that they “would have to be an idiot’ to think they were the intended target. How about laws that only affect the intended target? I know that would mean that the laws would have to be thought out. Why is he affraid of thought out laws that don’t have unintended consequences? If one of his family members was affected by “unintended consequences” of any law he wouldn’t be alright with it. How about treating the public you represent EQUAL to how you expect your family to be treated. Why have government if they are going to create laws that easily have unintended consequences? I’ve heard John F. Kennedy say “ask not what your country can do for you”, not “ask not why my government is arresting me, ask if I am the intended target of the law” and if I am not it’s OK for them to arrest me. WE COULD USE SOME GOOD POLITICIANS AGAIN, WITH CONCERN FOR THEIR PUBLIC!
