#2The amount of laws being written by various state legislatures as well as congress is just far too damned high, and there is no benefit to it at all
Legislature members should not be able to introduce or edit laws, only debate them and provide votes along with their opinions on why their vote decision matters and what could be done to influence it. Laws should be drafted via popular referendum and stakeholder discussion and only introduced for an approving vote once the people have had a chance to vote on whether or not it should be considered in the first place. This was the opinion of dr. gaddafi in his seminal work, the green book. I think getting a statistical majority of people involved in the legislature process would be tedious without the internet but we do have the power to engage in direct democracy by using internet based systems to disseminate briefings, collect votes and opinions, and encourage discussion, just like on ycombinator. This won't happen before the fall of civilization, of course, because those in power are too corrupt to surrender their authority, but, it could still be done in some forward thinking states and munincipalities.
Lawmakers would still be free to draft and vote on so-called binding policy resolutions that directly alter regulations based on laws already in effect, operating within the constraints of the authority and intent of the law but altering implementation to best suit the need of the moment.

To be sure, "Dr. Gaddafi" here is Muammar Gaddafi, the late dictator of Lybia.
Go wolves!

Then why are they doing it? This sounds like a bad decision being made in haste. Why not explore options like relocating them to somewhere they're needed?

Unfortunately "doing nothing" is often seen as negative option, but I would absolutely prefer if our government, legislators, and executive branch members just did less... stop constantly needing to add more mud to the mud ball.
It's very reminiscent of the software industry where we just cannot seem to stop tinkering.

Legislators and people on the internet know better than scientists.

#9I have mixed feelings on this. Humans modify their environment to benefit themselves. We eliminated the Grizzle Bear from California and I kinda think that is appropriate. I do believe predators benefit the ecosystem to a point. Using this same logic, would humans benefit if we had predators hunting us? I bet a lot of the pro-predator rhetoric comes from people living in urban areas with little connection to rural life.

Ranchers don’t like it when wolves kill livestock.
