...which is exactly what we are doing now , it's called voting .
How long do you think a nation of 330 million people would survive if everyone got to pick and choose what laws they follow , if commerce was not regulated , if the safety of our food and water supplies were not monitored , if companies were free to pollute our air to their hearts desire , if our borders were not secure , if there were no organizations to respond to major disasters , if heroin dealers were allowed to sell their poison without fear of legal consequences , if the banks were allowed to legally fleece every customer who wants to buy a house , if pandemics were allowed to spread out of control and the list goes on and on ?
Commerce is regulated and yet high frequency trading by the largest banks and hedge funds sucks all profit out of the markets.
Food and water safety is "monitored" and foodborne illnesses afflict an estimated 48 million Americans a year.
Companies pretty much are free to pollute, but hey, the government does it too. Try Googling the massive leaks at the Hanford Nuclear Reservation.
Major disaster response, like the comically inept responses to Katrina? The Gulf oil spill?
You seem to miss the fact that heroin dealers are selling their wares regardless, and that we are losing the war on drugs.
