LESSON IN WRITING LAW

When writing a law, the best example of clear, concise, easily understood law is the ten commandments of God. Each law is one sentence and are the foundation of the moral code and legal system of justice for western civilization.

Why then does the house health care proposal consist of 1,018 pages that we find ourselves, trying to establish its meaning? Those in opposition to this legislation give the page and the lines that concern them. I have yet to see any of the proponents do anything but claim it doesn't mean what it says. Just trust us to make it right. The Kool Aid drinkers have not yet eliminated "In God We Trust." I have not noticed anything that says, In Congress We Trust.

Could the answer be, God is not devious, nor does he accept payoffs? How much did Goldman Sachs, Trial Lawyers or Unions contribute to God? I think two of the commandments should be read to every politician. "THOU SHALL NOT STEAL" and "THOU SHALL NOT COVET." A third one is in order, but will offend some of them, "THOU SHALL NOT COMMIT ADULTERY."
