Rules or laws without meaning. Serving no purpose but for one person to have power over another. Arbitrary rules 'just because' or that's the way things have always been done regardless of whether or not the rule has any meaning any longer.
Rules must change as people change, evolve as people evolve. Must be made to fit the situation to achieve relevance.
I read somewhere that a society with a preponderance of laws that are no longer enforced but still active becomes top heavy and ineffectual. Losing the spirit of the law, instead focusing on the minutiae. Ignoring the forest for the trees as it were.
And that's My 25 cents...
