I guess that whole terrisom thing is over now. Nobody is unemployed. Food is abundant everywhere. Nothing else to do but make laws!
It is the legislatures job to make laws. It is NOT their job to make sure people have jobs or food.
It is the legislature's job to make laws that are in the best interests of the electorate. Not sure how making it more difficult to provide technology to the electorate benefits the electorate.

And, sorry, but the electorate is composed of the people that vote the legislators into office, not the lobbyists that line legislators' pockets.

When did I say that making it more difficult to provide technology to the electorate was a benefit to the electorate? And on that note, when did I say that the electorate was composed of lobbyists?

Perhaps you should re-read what I wrote. I was commenting on some fool lamenting the fact that the legislature is making laws while there are people without jobs and food. I simply stated that it is not the legislarures job to provide those things.
You said that "it is the legislatures job to make laws". You did not qualify it to say that it was their job to make good laws or laws that were good for the electorate. You simply left it at "just make laws". That implies that, in your view, by simply causing paper with rules and regulations on them to be printed, they have properly discharged their duties.
