But many regulations come about as knee-jerk reactions and end up doing more harm than good because they were ill-considered and implemented in haste.

- SketchySeaBeast 7y agoThat's an argument for regulation reform, but not necessarily reduction - whatever overstepping occurred, there was an initial need for regulation that still needs to be met.
- malandrew 7y ago> there was an initial need for regulation that still needs to be met not necessarily. we have kneejerk reactions to statistically anomalous events all the time. Some things happen so infrequently that the regulation does far more harm than good. People have a desire to do something, anything, but never question if something should be done in the first place and establishing rational criteria to determine if they shouldn't act at all.
