Don't think something you see as obvious is obvious to all, or even a few others.
IN America, we have a lot of people named Steve who commit major crimes. I'm talking theft, rape, murder, arson, child abuse, etc. Major crimes. In India, they have almost no crimes committed by Steves. Same with China and Japan.
What should our solution be to our Steve problem??
I am going to assume you do not understand what I am talking about. I am also further going to assume you CAN understand what I am talking about. And once you understand this, viscerally, you will know to change your argument. I will further assume that you won't, because you hear about the 'Steve' problem so often with such emotion that you don't care to be right, or logical, but being politically correct is the end goal.
In America, as in all places that humanity lives, we tend to play a national game of whack-a-mole. We label each of the holes as a national issue, and we split into groups to focus on our particular hole. The entirety of the game is to not have ANY moles up. And to accomplish this, we focus on our mole, and keeping it down. What we overlook is that when we knock ours down, it forces another up someplace else. And if we force ours to stay down, it can cause massive repercussions on other holes elsewhere in society. We need to judge if allowing a bit of release, allowing our mole to pop up, overall helps society. Or does forcing our mole down hurt society even more.
Maybe a big government spending program that feeds kids is a mole. Spending taxes taken by force from the people is generally a 'mole', a bad thing. But if this lowers starvation rates, and crime statistics... See how this works?
