In fact, it is often times a detriment for the Government to preemptively legislate on an issue before we can either define it or grasp its impact.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Government was intended to suppress injustice, but its effect has been to embody and perpetuate it.
I extend that to the abortion issue, I extend that to the so-called gay rights issue, I think this is a freedom principle and consistent with the analysis in the economic area as well.
Politics is about the participation and engagement of the wider citizenry - to miss that point would doom us to irrelevance.
I think there is a huge responsibility upon governments to understand the consequence of their decisions.
I think if you live in a country, basically you share the dominant values of a country although you may disagree on issues all the time.
But the issue has to do with land, which is our land.
Though it's impossible for us to legislate one's thoughts and feelings, we still need things like affirmative action in place because without measures like it, people in charge would not have, sadly, enough impetus to do, as cliched as it sounds, the right thing.
It is a virtual reflex for governments to plead security concerns when they undertake any controversial action, often as a pretext for something else.
If you want to have a big impact, government is the way to do it. Just think of the number of people you can touch.
It is the duty of government to make it difficult for people to do wrong, easy to do right.
