day 4 what constitutes a stupid law

Since the 1700's many laws have not been repealed and are still in the statute book. In this the 21st Century they are still passing laws that are to my mind stupid and go against all the principles people fought wars for to give us a freedom of choice. This does not mean that their is no sense in them but they take away our freedom of choice or our rights to be an individual with a choice to make our own decisions instead of having to have it made for us. My pet hates in regards to laws that take away our choices, just look at the No Smoking rules or not being allowed to chastise our children what is this all about, what choice do we have? We should be allowed to vote on these laws instead of having them passed by beauracrats who don't live in the real world.
