Local Politicians need to be more worldly wise to realise that mega regulated environments like ours will be the downfall of the west (that and Government policy directed by the self entitled Twitter Mob) The populaton are being told risk is bad and if anything bad to you happens in life you are entitled to generous redress at the rest of the populations expense. You will see TV and Radio adverts designed to reduce "some accident or another" being justified with the statement "if it saves one life it will be worth it". This myth perpetuated by politicians or government agencies who have no concept of opportunity cost.
@ Tev: I do very much like every single word you say.
What I like even more is Guth/s words on page 1 of this thread. People telling other people what they can or should do. Nobody likes to be on the short end of this deal. The problem started with the division of labor. Since the contributions to the laborious jobs are hardly ever equal, and the benefits aren't either (instead they are all to often diametrical opposed), whoever sees any benefit in any deal, develops almost instantaneously a need to tell other people other people what to do.
