You were the one who claimed laws were useless as a deterrent. So explain why you believe that laws against slavery and child labor had no effect.
In fact I could list dozens of laws that have been hugely successful as deterrents. Environmental laws have made the environment much cleaner. Seatbelt laws have saved millions of lives. Civil rights laws ended segregation in the south. Stricter DUI laws have reduced traffic fatalities.
In fact the logic behind the argument that laws have no effect on criminal behavior could be used to argue for making theft and murder legal. It is just absurd.
what does any of that have to do with the burrow comments topic?
