We have too many laws and not enough enforcement. Why shouldn't we be educated instead of legislated? If you are old enough to vote why aren't you old enough to self isolate if that is important to you.
If we treat everyone as "big children" instead of responsible adults they will act as children.
Sure we do need some laws but is we understand the rationale then they will easier to police if needed. When you see a pedestrian knocked over surely this will make you more careful on the road, if not then you are on your own.
All drivers are fully aware that pedestrians get knocked over. Our country advertises "speed kills" on road signs, tv adverts, radio... and yet... lo and behold... adults,
ADULTS, speed every day. On any given day driving to work, how many people do you see driving badly or over the speed limit? Each one has his own reason which
they think justifies their driving. You can't possibly be making as assertion that each person needs to
personally see someone get hit by a car, or be in a crash themselves, in order to drive responsibly.
And it's not just
their health they are risking. They're putting
your life at risk with their actions. Same thing with a virus.
Do we need to educate people that a business employee or government worker fraudulently stealing money means that other employees or poor people will suffer? Those people don't care. They put their own immediate wants and needs ahead of any other consideration and tell themselves it's ok to do so. That's what people do.
It would be fantastic if we could rely on everyone not to do the wrong thing, but we can't.
