It's still bullshit. That money is in other peoples pockets, it's not

alarm system so you don't forget their own children, so be it. People
have to take some kind of responsibility for their own stupid actions.
Society isn't responsible for people who accidentally bake their kids.
The ones responsible are the idiots, who would do such a thing.. I'll
morn for the children, but but I won't force the rest of the world to
protect those kids, it's not their responsibility Unfortunately I can't
think of a punishment that fits the crime, that doesn't reek of pure
vindictiveness.

Let us remove all the street lights on all intersections. It is forced
good that is forced onto those idiots who cannot give right of way or
wait ten seconds until other cars pass.
We shall then create a huge pile of cash that we will know how to use well.

Peter, it is 21st century out there and great many things involve
collective cooperation and mutual safety. And although criminal
negligence is a crime but it is not done on purpose. So, don't call
people "idiots" just because. One day you (or I) will get distracted and
it is better to have a 10 dollars worth of protective device than let
the unspeakable happen.
