Maybe another verb would convey it better, I don't know. I do believe in letting people make choices as long as they know the consequences. I think most of us are vastly uninformed of all the consequences of such things. Sure, I know if I go over 45 I will get a speeding ticket. How much will it cost? How many points will I accumulate on the driver's license? How ashamed (or terrified) will I feel when the cop pulls me over? How ashamed will I feel when I tell someone I'm late because I got a ticket? How will it affect my insurance rates? Will I lose my license? How will my passenger feel, if there is one? I think there are many more consequences than just the first-order ones and I do believe most of us are uninformed or ignorant of the full scope.
