WHEREAS El Lexhatx has provisions which only make suggestions, and
WHEREAS Laws are by definition provisions which can be enforced, and
WHEREAS Suggestions are unenforceable, and
WHEREAS This means suggestions aren't really laws and shouldn't be in the law code, and
WHEREAS Laws which only make suggestions have no effect, because no one reads el Lexhatx for the purpose of finding out what the government suggests they do, and
WHEREAS Laws with no effect still have the effect of cluttering up el Lexhatx, and
WHEREAS Government suggestions should be of minimal concern in a free society anyway, and
WHEREAS When a government feels entitled to enshrine a suggestion into the law code, it is a sign the government is overreaching, and
WHEREAS If the Ziu wants to make a suggestion, it should pass a Sense of the Ziu, which are specifically meant for non-binding resolutions and suggestions
