>It does remind me of punishing everyone because a few cannot control themselves. Much like outlawing alcohol because a few abuse it, or do we outlaw driving because a few drive drunk or don't drive responsibly, or outlaw babies because a few are abusive parents, or should we close the internet because those who use it for nefarious purposes can't control themselves? I find it amazing that that is the argument presented.

Though a good deal is too strange to be believed, nothing is too strange to have happened.
- Thomas Hardy
Half the harm that is done in this world is due to people who want to feel important. They don't mean to do harm-- but the harm does not interest them. Or they do not see it, or they justify it because they are absorbed in the endless struggle to think well of themselves.
-- T. S. Eliot
Democracy is two wolves and a sheep voting on what to have for lunch.
Liberty is a well-armed sheep contesting the vote.
- Ben Franklin
Pardon him, Theodotus. He is a barbarian, and thinks that the customs of his tribe and island are the laws of nature.
