I agree but I think I would put it differently. I think what we need is absolute free speech, including the ability to tell deliberate lies etc. What we should seek to prohibit are actions with the intended consequence of hurting others.
I also think the our public discourse/debate, as well as the laws themselves, should be focused the maliciousness of the actions and consequences, rather than the freedom of the speech.
We have to admit to ourselves that there is no one size fits all mode of transportation and that we require a large spectrum of different transportation methods tailored to the individual application.
You're saying it wouldn't make a difference to a thief if they knew the punishment for robbing a store was either some community service or 10 years in prison? For those among us who are not guided by morality, punishment is the only reason not to perform acts of theft or senseless violence. And regardless of where you think our governments priorities should be, or however much the government can enact policies to prevent crimes, crimes will still happen, and they must be dealt with appropriately.
The criminal system needs to be designed with multiple goals: rehabilitation and reform for criminals who have the potential to become better citizens, and the prevention crime through the deterrence of punishment for those who cannot.

How do strip joints hire strippers?
one time my case got some snow in it. I let it all dry out and the motherboard was the only thing that needed to be replaced.
