"This is controversial only in a land of fools."
Amy Wax:
"The government cannot make people watch less television, talk to their children, or read more books. It cannot ordain domestic order, harmony, tranquility, stability, or other conditions conducive to academic success and the development of sound character. Nor can it determine how families structure their interactions and routines or how family resources—including time and money—are expended. Large-scale programs are especially ineffective in changing attitudes and values toward learning, work, and marriage." -- Amy Wax & The Truck Driver - Cobb

The government sure can lead people into a lifetime of bad habits, so they get it in their minds that government can lead them out.

Once we had laws, and we had consciences and we had societal pressure and guilt, and always there were consequences, and now we have syndromes and symptoms, and experts and study commissions, and legislation outlawing reality and the consequences, there should never be consequences.
