> BobWanting to control and ATTEMPTING to control are two very different things, and I think that's a very big problem in our culture, in general. Quite similar to the civility rules here, there is a (mistaken) belief that such things can be legislated successfully and without negative consequences for all. There are a gazillion things I'd LIKE to control, but I know I have no right to do that, and I'm smart enough to know that it creates more problems than it solves.
