Stage>> One thing to keep in mind is that laws don't get changed or repealedbecause some bored representative decides to look through the books to find redundancies on his/her own. Laws gain the necessary attention to be repealed when enough of the public makes a loud enough voice that their representatives can't ignore the public outcry. To simply sit quietly with the notion of "it's a law, so there's no point in questioning," is a great way to give up what powers of representation we have left. Apathy has already shown its destructiveness time and again within so many issues, this is just one of many examples. If you want to get a good look at how it affects our society, stop anyone on the street and ask them the latest details of "Survivor" or "Who Wants to be a Star", and I'll bet you'll get every detail with names and examples. But then ask them who their state representatives are and what issues are currently being supported by them and you'll likely get a unified blank stare. So simply stating "change the laws . . ." isn't going to do anything in that direction. Laws don't change without a strong public demand, support, and follow-through.
