Did you ever wonder why Moses didn't bring down 2,742 commandments from Mount Sinai instead of 10? Maybe because God knew people would barely remember 10 (can you name all ten without looking them up?) and wouldn't even try with 2,742 commandments. With 2,742 commandments, you were bound to be breaking one or two without even realizing it.
Of course the Levites didn't refrain from commenting on the "BIG 10" until the books containing the commentaries were too difficult to lift without help.
I fear that our legislators think they are being paid by how many words they write into law, and they need to make sure their constituents are getting their moneys worth.
Will Rogers said "Yes, Government is expensive. Just be happy we aren't getting as much Government as we are paying for!"
God help us...
