> When was the last time you heard of laws being repealed
For the most part, laws aren't 'repealed' anymore. They just pass a new law that says the old law doesn't count anymore, making the legal code even more obtuse.
On occasion I've idly wondered about what would happen if you started enforcing a relatively strict '1 in, 1 out' policy.
There must be plenty of crap on the books that either is completely outdated, subsumed by other more recent statutes, or could be implemented as an amendment to another item.
Extreme refactoring! (also potentially life imprisonment if you fail a test-case)
