Which is what I said earlier.

If you let the lions out of their cage, don't be surprised if they do what comes instinctively, including taking down men, women and children in the streets.

If that's a problem, then build better cages. You won't get anywhere asking the lions to play nice. Even the author knows that.

I think here is where you hit the nail on the head. And again I reiterate that if you can do something, it doesn't mean you should. Unfortunately we live in a society where that mantra is thrown under the bus all too often.

As always, a reasonable and just assessment from one of my favourite posters on this message board.
