U.S.A. law vs. the U.S. citizen

U.S. law needs to be precise.  It needs to be bulletproof so that when someone breaks it, the fault does not get shifted to the people/person who composed the law.  How can someone obey a law that they don't understand?  Obviously, with public education now mandatory for everyone under the age of 16 or whatever, sure, it's easy to enforce teaching of law, but the law doesn't remain unchanged after a U.S. citizen graduates high school.  The fact that high school hasn't always been mandatory just increases the difficulty in that fact, not to mention in and of itself proves that to be fact.
And so how do you implement the law without teachers?
MANDATORY ATTENDANCE OF U.S. LAW 101 -- SATURDAYS AT 10AM
Yeah...freedom of religion sound familiar to anyone?
And that's assuming U.S. law needs to be some complicated thing that everybody needs to walk on egg shells to avoid stepping on.  The law of USA is supposed to be FOR the people.  If it's not FOR the people, who IS it for?  THE PEOPLE are for God.  God created us for His company.  Those of us in this nation who refuse His company are currently en route to the trash bin.  Thankfully repentance has no expiration date except that which is stamped on your death certificate (which may be off by a few days or weeks depending on how the person dies and how many people routinely check on said individual out of interest for the individual).  Obviously, your life on Earth will be more meaningful and you'll have less tears for God to wipe away if you accept His salvation sooner.
So...as I was saying.  U.S. law is for the people.  More about the above paragraph can be read about in the blogpost that immediately precedes this one.  As for how it effects the people, the people can not BENEFIT from being thrown in jail for breaking a law that is not clear.  If someone kills another human being, for instance, it doesn't benefit anyone necessarily to throw someone in jail or even kill the killer.  Ideally you'd want the killer to NOT KILL anybody IN THE FIRST PLACE!!!  The Law of The Land is FUTILE if it's going to be ambiguous about anything.  How do traffic laws benefit anybody if they aren't concise?  

Sucky thing is the English language as it is used in many(most) people's day to day life is NOT concise.  Many words are in and of themselves ambiguous.  People often have to go back and apologize for saying too much or not enough because instead of putting what they say in concise terms, they use analogies or euphemisms.  People say "get a life" when someone has a "petty" grievance.  How does one define "petty"?  In a free country, it certainly is not the government's job to make such distinctions.  If someone wants to bully someone else into leaving them alone by saying "Get a life", they are certainly entitled to do so, but what is "life"?  How do you acquire one if you don't already have one?  Such questions are not in the interest of the person who states "Get a life", because it's not a literal statement.  It is simply a much shorter way of stating "It is my belief that you are not living your life the way you should be and I have gathered this belief by the observation that your grievance toward me is of so little importance in comparison to the numerous other things you could be doing with your limited amount of time on this Earth".
And I'm sure some people can probably find fault with the way I re-worded that three word sentence.
For instnace "Living your life"?  What does that mean exactly?  See, I flubbed it up and I wasn't even halfway finished typing that re-vamp!
That is why we have what is referred to as "legal jargon".  Me and another non-lawyer can talk about the law and we will never be able to be 100% accurate in referring to any law that exists.  I myself get tongue tied when saying words that I'm not used to saying or haven't said in awhile and certain combinations of common words get me tongue tied.  I certainly can't do it.  And I've been known to be overty wordy when I'm verbally communicating (yikes!)
