since all laws are passed in a sane and logical manner, with everyone's best interests at heart, then if the law says something is bad, then it must be.
erm, i hope you will take the time to reconsider what you just wrote here. "sane and logical manner" is not presenting a bill to be voted on with no debate, or, voting for a bill without first reading it (take the patriot act for example.) "with everyone's best interests at heart" is not when a bill, like the federal reserve act for example, is written by individuals (bankers) who are not elected representatives to the people's house.

and, most certainly, lincoln enacting "law" (through executive means) in order to deport congressman because they disagreed with him politically, certainly isn't good - unless you do believe that all politicians should agree with the president on everything without separation of power/political opinion.

in my opinion, it is the trust the people have placed in bureaucrats to solve our problems (especially now regarding economics and monetary policy) is why our currency's value is dissolving.
