Snippet:
SOCIETAL reform is a herculean task that requires a fundamental shift in people’s behavior. History has shown us that imposing behavioral change sometimes results in institutional abuse, totalitarianism and suppression of enshrined freedoms. When the State pursues noble intentions of enhancing quality of life through draconian measures to change behaviors — commanding what people are allowed to do or not to do — such interventions are often fraught with unintended consequences.
