Certainly agree on the former. Once saw a recommendation (don't know
whether it was Heinlein or another author) that indicated there should be
3 houses of congress. Two would be charged with creating laws, and IIRC
(it's been a few years) 2/3 majority would be required to pass *any* law.
The third house was charged with repealing laws and would only require a
simple majority.

Better yet, 2 old laws repealed for every new law passed.

Hear, hear!

towards social purposes on its own initiative, but only under heavy
pressure, while its motion towards anti-social purposes is self-sprung.
