Cars hurt a lot of people through pollution and CO2 emmissions, all car owners are responsible for these casulalties, yet the cost of those lifes are not factored in the price of a car. So how do we regulate so that these casulties can be minimized? Your simple assertion that there is no need for more laws than one helps us naught here.
We have science, ie statistics and logic.
Yes, but i am not asserting that individuals cant inovate themselves out of a paperbag, your argument is irrelevant, the two are not exlusive. I assume therefore that you accept that the government actually can be an inovator.
I dont care about efficiency myself, i just combat the myth that governments MUST be inefficient and i believe that idelogies that require inefficient government (eg libertarianism) are to be suspected. Just because your government suck does not mean that it have to and that there is no point in trying to improve it. Rather, since there are examples of benevolent and efficient governments who have succeded in some of its ambitions are proof enough that it is possible. Fatalism is for losers.
