While we're at it, let's make stupidity illegal too, and see if anything changes...

One thing about life. It's unpredictable. Another. Bad things can and will happen in life. When they do, the press will make sure you know all about it. The worse it is, the more they will tell you about it. Their enthusiastic telling and re-telling of it will probably inspire some more such incidents after awhile, not surprisingly.

Good things, however, also can and do happen every day. MILLIONS of good things happen! How much do you hear about those in the news?

No set of Draconian laws will make everything perfect from now on or prevent some a few more bad things from happening. Matter of fact, the draconian laws are usually a pretty bad thing in themselves, seems to me. They increase the stress load on the general public. Under accumulated stress, certain people crack...and bad things happen.
