You have to stop the cycle somewhere. Some things sound like a really good idea, but when it spawns ideas that are not so good, and begin to effect you directly; that's when you start to realize it might not have been a great idea to support the original.

I would name examples of laws and treaties that spawned something our gov't (and citizens) regretted afterward, but it's specific to USA and other nationalities might be offended. I'm sure every nationality reading this thread can give an example relative to their nation.
Better be careful there Yhor, some of our legislation-happy liberty donors might need a cigarette after reading that post.

I'm withholding further commentary until some of my most recent questions are answered
