Sure, which is why I used the term "generally" as opposed to language that would be more absolute in nature. But generally, I believe the government needs to butt out of such things as well. In time the market generally finds a way. There are of course exceptions, especially prevalent at the dawn of the prior century.
There are exceptions to every rule, but they are just that. I challenge anyone to find anything that is perfect in life outside of the following:
- 1967 Corvette Stingray convertible with a 427 and side pipes
- Boiled Maine lobster fresh off the boat eaten at a picnic table out of a paper basket with lemon and melted butter
- Boobies
- Tacos
- Fireflies
- That which is the "Glorious Maximus"
