Exactly. Business is smarter and faster than government 100% of the time. So if legislators are going to play these games of chicken, the people they're allegedly trying to protect will always be the losers, because the legislators are too myopic to predict the side effects.Originally Posted by YellerDog
Horse feathers.
Business plays just as many games if not more than government. Not all of the time of course, but a lot of the time, legislation is only brought forth to keep business from running roughshod over everything else around it. Without even touching on global warming, you can look at what business did to just about every major waterway near our cities. It wasn't legislation putting children in unsafe factories in order to earn a bullshit wage.
I didn't say that intelligence and speed was always used for good.
No, you said the people government tries to protect will always be the losers which is just a bunch of hooey, pardon my french.
A good example is Chicago banning guns to stop criminals from owning them. The public is so much safer now.

I can do all things through Christ, who strengthens me.
You obviously don't understand the point of gun bans
You sir, are a hideous hermaphroditical character which has neither the force and firmness of a man, nor the gentleness and sensibility of a woman.
Show me where business did a better job protecting the natural habitat than the government.
Show me where business did a better job protecting people from unsafe working environments than the government.
Show me where business did a better job protecting people from unscrupulous business than the government.
Show me where business did a better job protecting basic human rights than the government. Was it business men who said niggers and chinks were fit for more than just picking cotton and laying track?
Or show me one dumb thing that happened and then act like that proves everything else wrong.
What the hell are you even talking about?
That's true. They have nothing to do with crime reduction.
I'm talking about how business is so smart and fast that all the things that have been buried in its wake were then rectified by it and not legislation.
