Parallels

Notice the similarities between our lakeside microcosm and national politics? Legislature has taken on a propensity for verbosity, nebulosity and chaos. I've read over the proposed "docs" numerous times and just can't seem to characterize exactly what the proposed rules are. Each time I think I got it, I read on and there is some follow-up verbiage which leads to some doubt. On the national front, the Immigration Bill is 600 pages long. What the heck is in there that requires 600 pages?

Maybe I'm just getting old and cranky, but I'm really tired of rules which consist of everyone's hot buttons, and not the basics needed to govern a domain. Today's Lake Holiday rules are exquisitely simple. No open fires, no trees cut without permission and so on. Why do we need each elaborated and explained, along with conditions and exceptions? Can't we make a definitive judgment on a case-by-case basis? Have we lost the ability to think? Can we no longer defend basic principles in court?

I'm in favor of prosecuting illegal aliens per existing laws. Yet there seems to be some chaotic congressional need to prioritize each envisioned interdependency before proceeding. Gotta fix the border. Gotta deal with "resident" illegals. Somebody should invent a machine which boils down all the rhetoric into a simple list of rules, and send that to the president. We could then use the machine here. We could dump the new "docs" into the hopper and vote on the result. Chances are it would resemble what we already have.
