What law would you like changed?

[Beanz]

All man made laws, all we need is the golden rule.

But surely that is a man made rule? That only works if the person using it is reasonable. Amend it with 'providing you do no harm' and it makes more sense. Yes of course learning to treat others with respect is good but not all people and certainly not all peoples ideas are worthy of equal respect. Judeo/Christian law in the west had the golden rule as an underpinning principle but has often twisted it to inflict the opposite result. Things like 'I don't drink so nobody should drink' and 'I don't believe black people are deserving of equal respect and so neither should others' are distortions of the golden rule, that were once enshrined in law.
