What I find useless and likely damaging to the common good, or common interest, is the abundance of regulations that seem to serve no purpose at all. They seem to be distractions or dividers from that common core naturally beneficial to the people.
I don’t know if these useless regulations are there on purpose, or they simply are the result of policy makers creating them because they have to show results and innovations.
We all find examples of regulations and ‘laws’ that are neither applied or applied wrong: when the wrong people get punished, when the wrong people get harassed because, when that regulation gets to twisted to fit a result.
In part I explain the situations as the need to justify their jobs because the pressures to show and assert themselves as useful.
I believe that is unnecessary in some situations, their jobs may be better off if they just ensure the regulation is applied for real in the best interest of society.</description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>o	I think regulation is necessary, particularly in a diverse society, because the proper regulation is what brings the diversity into a common good.<br
