Politics
Rember back in the school days, there was this one kid which everyone bullied. Exactly this kid is now in a political position to make decisions, imagine the wounds back from the childhood are still not healed and the wish to 'be someone' is still bigger than the usage of the brain compared with coherent, logical thinking with an awareness of how the decision could affect the next 30 years .
While the basic concept of democracy is nice, it does not scale very well after a certain amount of members and it also does not really work if you provide false information as propaganda to manipulate the voters in making their decision.
We do not need more laws, we need more people using their own brains.
