To do otherwise is an extreme judicial intrusion into the legislative
process.  Each piece worked as intended by the legislature at the time it
was voted on.  And worked perfectly and according to common sense.  I
don't see how you can extend legislative intent to unforeseen consequences
when each piece worked, and continues to work, as intended.

Even if you could, the unforeseen consequences would be only applicable to
the final piece of the puzzle, which was the creation of the ability to
create one's own blots and had nothing to do with welcome packages.
