I've been saying for many years, it's time to pile the Federal Register,
the US Code and the various state codes up on a spot of waste land
somewhere, burn it, and start over, like the Althing used to every year.
 Those Vikings were pretty shrewd; the Althing got to keep as many laws
as its members could correctly recall and write down from memory in 24
hours.  Everything else?  If you couldn't remember it, it couldn't have
been very important, could it?
