Let me explain my [continuous] "baby and bathwater" comments.
Just because there are people (even a lot of people) abusing the system, doesn't mean you scrap the system. We don't pull down all the traffic lights and stop signs just because some people blow right through them day after day and cause accidents and even death.
Maybe you'd like that. You like making sure innocent people die so that others can exercise their personal responsibility. You like blaming the dead for their lack of personal responsibility.
The fact that we can't rely on people properly exercising their personal responsibility is EXACTLY why we have laws.
And - as discussed before - some people have had their range of options so severely compromised that their ability to exercise personal responsibility is limited. Some people might even reach the conclusion: "If the system is going to fuck me, I'm going to find a way to fuck the system!"
Stop fucking people over and the majority will stop looking for ways to fuck you back.
"Bill has always been friendly, generous, and kind to me. I think I'll steal his identity and run up a million dollars on his credit card." said no normal person ever.
We've got an awful lotta abnormal people on this planet.
And despite your belief, I too am against throwing out the entire baby with the bathwater.
