Lambaste the Lawbreakers Not the Lawmakers

I'm perplexed about why people do this. I'm going out on a limb here but I feel that people who get angry over certain laws that are made, restricting them in any particular way, should not be lambasting the lawmakers but the lawbreakers. The culprits who caused the creation of these laws, often to our dismay. Are they angry because they're also the lawbreakers?

This is what I shared with a friend recently: "We make laws because of the bad people not the good. The good people always suffer due to the bad. If anyone gets angry over laws, that they feel are unjust, they need to take the bad ones into consideration. It's not those that obey the laws but the ones that don't that make us all suffer. In every area of any subject. Be angry at them, not the ones making laws to protect the innocent. They (bad) took our (good) rights away."

It's our choice to be upset, but be upset with the ones who took advantage of a situation, often creating the path that inadvertently punishes the good along with the bad. We can get in an uproar but we shouldn't denigrate the lawmakers who saw a need that we might not have considered or don't want to consider. Despise, if we will, the correct ones: the bad people. The ones who started the ball rolling in taking away what we feel is our rights.

Yes, be angry at the lawmakers, but only when they're being lawbreakers too.
