Apparently lemhaj considers public policy to be an all or nothing situation. That is simply not so. As any well-read Libertarian should know, incentives are very powerful policy enforcement tools. However, not all people are equally influenced by economics or hold the same fear of malpractice lawsuits.

As such, I do not and have not been snookered by the expectation that the government solves all problems. I do recognize that laws and regulations are capable of playing a part in protecting the public.
