Well, the trouble is that all government is operated by professional politicians, whose livelihood depends on always having to be seen to be 'doing', so they have to keep on thinking up new laws about something, or what are they for so where's their livelihood? ~~ so one is caught up in the Catch-22, a bit like Groucho on clubs, of "I wouldn't ever vote for the kind of person who would want to be an MP". All this officious legislation is surely related to this initial oxymoron/paradox/Catch-22?
