Penalizing the behavior sounds like a top-down solution to me. Government decides it's bad, then government sends the police to come get you if you do it.
- paulmd 7y agoThen that describes all regulation and "top down" is a meaningless standard. I dump some chromium waste on my property, pretty soon this "government" is saying it's bad and sending police to come get me saying that "the green goo is making people sick". I hate that top-down big gubmint telling me what I can and can't do! I refuse to employ black people, pretty soon there's a top-down big gubmint telling me that's "discriminatory" and "violates labor laws"! What's next, telling a man what he can and can't do with his own business!?

- paulmd 7y agoThen "top down" is a widely deployed and not particularly notable model, such that it's not worth throwing a fit over.
