>>2731700I should probably express myself better. It seems to me that society has 2 kinds of people, the ones that want the comfort of regulations and the one that wants freedom to grow.
One side always seems to be at odds with the other in various fileds like gun control, driving, drinking ages, etc...
One thing that strikes me is that, as kids get more freedoms, they seem to grow more into people who yearn for regulations later. As a kid with too many liberties grows up and starts facing regulations tied to great boons (driving, drinking, property, guns), they equate the greatness of these things with living under regulation.
If, these regulations were introduced as early as, say, getting your first dog, kids would:
>A, grow up into people who don't think driving, guns and drinking need as much regulation>B, growing up into people who failed dog license tests and that shouldn't have those rights anywayThe way I see it, it's a win win. People who want freedom can have it with something as simple as proving you can be a successful dog owner (not by today's standards of course, stricter testing of the dog would apply).
People who want regulations would be regulated.
People allergic to dogs would be allowed to take on hawking or raising any other animal that can be measured by the same standards of the dog license.
A dog of a reasonably trainable breed would be provided to each kid, the kid can get progressively harder breeds later if he wants the dog license for more unreasonable stuff like owning an RPG or an 18-wheeler.
