A little bit of subtly communicated disapproval or approval goes a long way, and can be flexible and responsive. But we live in a time that abhors the judgment required for that. So when problems arise, in a manner like you describe, the response is a law. But it's usually a bad response, since the law is a blunt instrument.Ken Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12976919713907046171noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7225373.post-49177783520260338372017-02-20T09:15:03.612-05:002017-02-20T09:15:03.612-05:00I think you are wrong on this.

There is a continual search for such issues on the right as a means to define ingroup status and unity so we have laws being passed in the absence of problems. On the left these are usually clarifying real problems. Lordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06747994571555237739noreply@blogger.com
