I think you assign more competence and forethought to politicians than I'm willing to. Most of the time they're trying to win for the cause, without fully understanding what the collateral impacts will be. If you're talking tax legislation then I'm in agreement. But civil rights are far far more complex. They're simply not that cleverI agree with BB on this. Surely was intended, because you *do not* need to know the precise outcome. You only need to know that, in general, nanny policies result in a weaker, more dependent society. And this part is clear to everyone.
The basic question one needs to answer is always the same:
Given politician/party/ruler/monarch/whatever did so and so out of her/his/their/it good heart, or because she/he/them/it is sure that this would help her/him/them/it to stay in power even longer? The answer is blatantly obvious.
