Overcriminalization

While I was lamenting about my garbage man on Wednesday, GritsForBreakfast was commenting about the same burr that was under my saddle. Check it out here where Grits tells us the Texas Board of Pardons and Parole has identified 2,324 separate acts which the state Legislature has declared felonies! Imagine it, 2,324 ways to commit a felony in Texas.

However, I disagree with Grits' conclusion the Ten Commandments only proscribe 10 forbidden acts. Maybe he can call me and we'll talk about that.
