no, that doesn't make any sense logically. The inverse of your statement would also have to be true - making fewer rules makes people less dangerous.

The only thing that can be remotely truthful related to that statement is "Making more oppressive rules can make more dangerous people." This is evidenced by people from oppressed groups (the Catholic Irish in Northern Ireland, the Muslims in Palestine, etc.)

But the key is the "oppressive" rules, not just any rules.

To begin with, more rules and regulation means that rule-makers have encountered more nasty things that they need to keep in check. On the top of it, making more rules and regulation will sharpen minds of rule-breakers to come up with better ways to break them. This, in turn, will persuade rule-makers to come up with new ideas. And the cycle goes on.

In this regard, I like Bhagvad Gita that says that there's only one Universal Law i.e. law of cause and effect, commonly known as Law of Karma. According to this, the moment you perform any action (pshchologically /verbally /physically), there is a record created in Universe, and the Universe will give appropriate result, without any other person, getting involved in terms of judging one's actions.

I hope that some day, we, as a human race, will not only understand this concept theoratically, but really realize this truth due to our experiencial evoltion.

Rules & regulations mean that we don't know how to discipline & deal with our and others' actions. And we hope that, by implementing rules from outside, eventually people become self-disciplined.

winston churchill said that excessive regulation destroys all respect for the law

i think that is what you mean

so i agree

every empire, from the egyptian on, has fallen under the weight of its own bureaucracy - modern society is in process of being crushed under the weight of it bureaucracy

but the root cause is teh ever increase of overpay and underpay, which then requires excessive regulation to try to prevent the worst excesses and injustices from the overpower and underpower that overpay and underpay causes - eg, trying to bridle monopoly, which permits higher prices, which drains the country of wealth, ie creates extreme overpay and underpay - the cause of the 1929 depression - boom and bust - [luxury spending in the 1930s was high not low]

prevent overfortunes/underfortunes, and you prevent the need for most rules and regulations, and prevent most violence [war and crime] - war is cuased by overfortune and underfortune - overfortune make people powerful enough to create wars, and underfortunes make cheap cannonfodder

[the league of nations was founded to try to prevent armaments people from fomenting wars - as ambrose bierce cynically and correctly put it: arms dealer: someone who sells you rifles to defend yourself against someone to whom he has sold cannon -

[the rifles-cannon bit may be untrue - the arms dealer may sell both of you cannon - but it is true that there are always better weapons, and one side has more money to buy them]

so overpay/underpay causes endless growth of bureaucracy, rule and regulation, and the state is crushed under the weight

we have lawmaking but we have no setup for law destruction - we keep adding laws, without regard for how many laws a nation can bear - there is a limit which we cannot calculate, which is grey, which we have always exceeded - of course, bureaucrats always want to grow - the more laws, the bigger the department, and the fatter the salary - so by failing to limit income, we regularly crush ourselves under our empires - plus the overpay/underpay generates violence which shakes the empire or state to pieces

we are so dullwitted that we have pay from $1 to $1 billion for the same amount of work - pay from 1000th to 1,000,000 times the average - ie very very very unequal pay for equal work - ie, extreme violence, everincreasing

justice in pay is ESSENTIAL, VITAL, ALLIMPORTANT

we cannot survive without it

we can fully reward hard work, creativity, innovation without such mad super-excess of overpay and underpay and violence

capitalism + justice = peace and plenty - and survival - and freedom from bureaucracy
