if people stopped forming so many bloody organisations. Does America really need the "Consumers Union" and the "Consumer Federation of America"? I think not.
if people stopped asking the government to ban stuff every time something bad happens. Drugs, guns, computer games, chat rooms, heavy metal music, horror flicks, animal testing...every time I see some morally outraged citizen beefing about today's brand new menace to human existence, I feel like kicking them until they're dead. If you want a completely safe and moral society, you've got to ban absolutely everything, including human beings, and if these concerned parents and busybodying meddlers get their way, it'll happen soon enough. "But what if we just ban...". NO. We taxpayers waste far too much money enforcing bans on things that should never have been made illegal in the first place. WE THE PEOPLE ARE WEAK AND STUPID AND WE DEMAND THAT YOU SAVE US FROM OURSELVES
if they re-introduced the death penalty. I'm not talking a discreet hanging or a civilised lethal injection, I'm talking crucifixions in the town square, with placards detailing the criminal's name and offences. Combine draconian punishments with liberal laws and a fair and efficient social welfare system and things will improve. They ought to execute a few people at secondary school assemblies, as well (the school that the criminal attends or used to attend would be ideal) - the agonised screams of some larcenous scallywag getting his well-earned portion of the cruel and unusual would hopefully haunt the children forever. That's what I call "personal and social education".
