Exactly. Regulation does not come out of thin air--but in response to abuses. Complaining about regulation in the abstract is akin to bank robbers complaining about the laws against bank robbery.


"Complaining about regulation in the abstract is akin to bank robbers complaining about the laws against bank robbery."
