"ought to be a law", part two

Yesterday, I wrote about an essay contest in Ohio for high school students sponsored by the Ohio State Bar Association with this name. A California legislator is holding a contest called There oughta be a law for the second straight year. Last year, the top three entries out of one hundred received were passed by the California legislature into law. With that rate of success, the contest is being held again. A companion contest, "This One's Gotta Go," accompanies it this year. I mentioned yesterday that I thought the essay contest was a good idea, worth copying in other places. The same holds true for this one.
