Well, we've been doing that since the laws were passed, and that will never end. What we need to do is to change our perception of people: some things they are not responsible for because they were inherited in a strong form. Some things they are responsible for, but it's due to their irrationality, not to evil or something. What's left is rationality. And how do we make society more rational?</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:comic sans ms,sans-serif;font-size:small;color:#000000"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:comic sans ms,sans-serif;font-size:small;color:#000000">But I see no reason of any kind to mess with the Con. and B of R.
