> The truth is, while there may be laws which are unjust, unfair, or plain silly, most of them were created to meet a need or solve a problem.
The intention of the law to "meet a need or solve a problem" doesn't necessarily reflect the actual behavior of the law. Adopting this mindset can also bring the attitude of "we need a law to protect children" while packing the "Protect Children Act" full of special interest material.
I would personally disagree with the assertion that the majority of laws solve a problem or result in a net meeting of needs.
