Seems to me there are just too many laws on the books, and more added all of the time. I think it is ridiculous to have a law for everything. So I got to thinking what if we could only limit ourselves to 2 laws what would they be. I say laws against murder and theft.

Even G-d couldn't come up with 2. Remember the 10 commandments. That about covers everything. So you expect a human to.
What should we do with people that rape, kidnap, pedophiles,spy against your country, torture, hit and run, espionage, vandalism, riots etc........
IF you can think of 2 laws that will cover all that I have brought to your attention. Then you should win the Pulitzer prize.

Wow - what an interesting question. Only 2 laws?? Well, I guess I would have to agree with your choices - laws agains muder and theft. Those are the two biggies.

1.) Honor every living thing (animals included);
2.) Free money, without the need of government prying into your financial history, background etc., to those CITIZENS who are having a really hard time paying their bills and who can prove, simply by exhibiting their bill, that they need the money to help pay it. A receipt should be given by the company to prove that the bill was paid.

The first one is biblical.
Love thy neighbor as thyself.
That means don't do anything you wouldn't want done to you. Covers a lot of ground, hmm?
If we all did that one, we wouldn't need a second would we?

1.Pay your taxes
2. Don't mess with anyone
#2 leaves the door open for political interpretation. That's intentional.

Be good to and treat each other in a way you would be proud to speak of in public to a complete stranger.
Take responsibility for yourself and your actions.

Try to believe in something greater than yourself and don't hurt emotionally or physically anyone on the planet.
Or no guns and no bullets.
