Establishing too many rules (which was what you're harping about) is the absolute opposite of entropy. Rules are non-chaotic. They try to offer "If A then B" guidelines. Too many and bad rules lead to a rigid system where nothing moves much. That's not chaos. Chaos is the abscence of rules.

In essence, you got the term completely and utterly wrong. Because with your "definition", both actions (removal and creation of new laws) would lead to an increase in entropy - making the term meaningless.

And I think I'll put you on ignore. You're nothing more than a troll now.

Everyone is a troll when you are always angry at everyone.

Though I find it curious that you are somehow saying that I was talking about the removal of laws. My point is that laws are rarely "removed"; the leviathan state is almost always increasing the number of laws on the books. In fact, that was rather essential to what I was saying, so clearly you were misreading me a bit. :weird:

Lebanese Dragon had a good point as well.

Wouldn't change the fact that Indiana has decided not to change/update their laws, like other states have done.

Theology of wealth?

XIX century to 1929: US government promoted a darwinian competition.
1930 to 1945: Government assistance starts for key companies needed for war effort.
1945 to 1971: Expansion process until Lockheed Aircraft Corporation is bailed out in 1971. It became the blueprint for future bailouts. GSC (Government Sponsored Corporation) appears.

Barry Ritholtz in his book "Bailout Nation: How Greed and Easy Money Corrupted Wall Street and Shook the World Economy" talks about how US became a socialist nation that believes in "corporate welfare" and "socialism for executives". Ritholtz presents US history in detail on how it was a capitalist nation, but now it is only a bailout nation.

Privatizing profit, socializing losses.
