You do need some sort of benchmark (I think the word control is opens up a whole new set of worms). But to assume that everyone is a criminal and we must exert control on them lest they slaughter each other and society degenerates into chaos is a little alarmist. Yes there are criminals, but they are always a minority. In the end people are logical and want to live in peaceful societies...if they can be shown how it is to their benefit to play nice, then there is no need for either a fascist police state....nor a belief system promising eternal torture if the do not comply.

Stay safe all.

Perfection does not exist. The question therefore, is: what level of imperfection are we willing to settle for?
