My frustration isn't that it's a ridiculous position. I can appreciate the line of thinking that's behind "make bad things harder". My frustration is that this is just kicking the can down the road for someone else to handle. In the case of the Flipper, this is asking manufacturers to stop making the Flipper. It's asking Retailers to stop selling the Flipper. It's asking the producers to end their Flipper product line. It's asking regulatory entities to checkup on all of the above to make sure they're complying. It's asking police to keep an eye out for these devices. And it's asking the public to surrender their property. In short, someone has a problem and their solution is for EVERYONE else to do all the work. In this instance, if you hold an important government position and your car keeps getting stolen, maybe you could pay to have someone watch your car. Or pay to have a better security system installed. If think that if you want the world to change, then you should put in the effort to make it different. However, very often what I've been seeing is that people want the world to change and their contribution is to figure out how to compel other people to do the work for them.
