The United States of America is a nation of hysteria and nonsense lawls laws. This is the biggest flaw to Democracy. Every few years or so people freak out en mass over something stupid and our crooked legislature couldn't be happier to enact laws that gain them voter points. Then the hysteria dies down and the laws are still active and they are damn near impossible to change because the government is nothing but a big, messy bureaucracy.

Edit: I have heard that prison building is the fastest growing industry in the United States. Does anyone know if this is true or not?
