Which ones are excessively terrible? What country's moralities are we using to decide these? After we've decided on them (for the sake of the argument, let's say we can), doesn't that signal that everything else is fair game? I don't know what the process was from the first oral or written laws to the ones we have today, but looking at magna carta it seems quite a bit more lightweight than current legislation. I bet that happened because they had to be amended and amended since people figured out new ways to circumvent them and commit new kinds of crimes. The times before laws and regulations were called the dark ages. Maybe I'm wrong but I think our modern society enjoys some benefits over those times.
