Here is my analogy.

A cow in a pen will crap in it's food and water and look over the fence for more food and water. If none was given to it it would stand their and die of thirst and hunger. people like to think humans are smarter than cows. All you have to do is look at what we have done to the fish runs in the N Pacific to see that we really are not any different than the cow.

With the law not having anything to do with right or wrong common sense pevailing is now all but impossible. the law is about the process and we will have to completely crash the system before we are utterly shocked into doing the right thing. Like the cow a 2 x 4 between the eyes is all we understand sometimes.
