Repeal all Out of Date Laws
All laws that have not been enforced within the last 20 years have no value. So, let's get 'em off the books. Many of these laws are blatantly Unconstitutional (It's illegal to be an atheist in this state!), while others were written before such modern convinces -- like fire extinguishers, (Aren't a few of those more handy than a requiring a number of buckets of water and buckets of sand to be on-hand at all times?), and some are just silly. (It's illegal to sing only a portion of The Star Spangled Banner.)
If a law is not going to be enforced in 20 years, then it's stale, and out of date. It should be repealed without exception.
