    Those few more years are exponentially more expensive and for many have exponentially less benefit.

    I think if more money is spent on eduction it should definitely be focussed towards mathematics.

    But see, "psychoterapist" is not a licensed profession. Psyciatrist and psychologist are.

    I suspect a majority of people think those are all the same thing.

    If you revoke a license you don't have to go round and tell everybody individually that, for example, Pfhorrest is an incompetent electrician.

    Some would consider the concept of "non-human-grade" anything to be nanny-state anti-business interference in the market that will inevitably lead to compulsory gay marriage and death panels.

    There is a theory that most regulations and red tape are unnecessary - we should rely on common sense.

    There's another which states that most regulations and red tape are there because common sense is actually quite rare and someone did something stupid.
