Hey guys.. Got a debate coming up next week and a cash prize.. So need to win this one. The debate topic is "Law restricts our freedom and happiness" we are arguing the affirmative.

Any points, quotes or rebuttles would be appreciated. I'll hand out best answer in about 12 hours.. so spend as much time on it as you want... Some starters:
- Topic says law in general.. not of one country.
- Not arguing they benefit us or not.. just they restrict freedom/happiness.
 
Have lived in many 'free' countries, if the law says you have freedom of speech, try telling a police officer, or judge what you really think about them...
 
The word freedom refers to having the power of choice. Many of our "choices" have been taken away via Constitutional Amendments!

Here's a great website that gives some very valid points;

seat belts , marajuana they only hurt us not others so why are they illegal.

gov taxes extra cigaretts and alchol

prostitution is illegal again why it does not hurt any one.
its just gov interfering and imposing there values on us.
