I like the "neither technology nor laws are yet capable of completely dealing with the plague."
So they'll just give up completely.

Pehaps we should also apply this to: the "drug war", the "war on terror", welfare/social assistance.
In each case, no amount of technology and no volume of new laws will completely solve the problem. I hearby suggest that we give up on those fronts as well.
Take the billions of dollars that is used for those purposes and cut taxes by the same amount. There's your tax cut funding Mr. Bush!
