Law and Ethics - Take 3

Why do some people think that we should have more laws and some say less? This classification is the very essence that makes one’s laws harsh and other’s not so. When you see a harsh law, you know who is behind it.

Some believe that people will not stay within ethical borders unless there is a possibility of some incentive (better yet, punishment) and some say that they will stay decent without laws (some go even further and say that with laws more people will misbehave just to be rebellious).

I am against anarchy, but I also believe that we should have as few laws as possible. It seems absurd for me to believe that most people are evil. Furthermore, I think that nobody has a right to tell me what I should do and what I should not. The more laws we have the further we get from freedom. Democracy is not the same as anarchy, but it is not supposed to be a dictatorial regime either.
