Yup, I'm inclined to agree with that... But i don'tthink it's as clear-cut as either side would suggest. If you take away the need to think, then people will stop thinking it's true- but in this case, it's simply the case that a large number of people aren't acting reasonably, and so a laissez faire approach (which has been tried for years) just isn't working. I'd prefer if peope would always act reasonmably and responsibility, but the fact is there's always someone who doesn't.
