Quote:Isolated anecdotes? Interesting generalization.
Poor choice of words. I didn't intend to convey that there aren't many cases of abuse; rather, I wanted to note that, as isolated anecdotes, particular cases of abuse can quite easily be used to incite public outrage in lieu of a more moderate and considered response in light of consideration of the system and its effects as a whole.
But whate'er I be,
Nor I, nor any man that is,
With nothing shall be pleased till he be eased
With being nothing.
William Shakespeare - Richard II
