It will be of little avail to the people that the laws are made by men of their own choice, if the laws be so voluminous that they cannot be read, or so incoherent that they cannot be understood; if they be repealed or revised before they are promulgated, or undergo such incessant changes that no man who knows what the law is today can guess what is will be tomorrow.
— James Madison, Federalist no. 62 [February 27, 1788]

Debate is welcome. Just try to be civil and show at least some respect for the opinions of others.
