I’m reminded of gun control efforts to force public agencies to make concealed weapons permit holders public information, names and addresses, apparently in the effort to intimidate people considering that personal safety option. Of course, if the information were made public, enterprising criminals would simply improve their due diligence, and the burglars would opt to shop at those safe and sane gun free zones for their five finger discounts. I suppose there would also be a celebrity exemption too, so well armed Nancy Pelosi–fond of no fault congressional insider trading– and Shawn Penn–fond of no fault fascism only when he does it– would not be on the public list to add to their embarrassment. Ah, the trials and tribulations of being the one percent and relevant, hip, and happening when trying to pass for the other 99 percent. Let’s see, we have no fault capitalism, no fault divorce, no fault car insurance, no fault illegal immigration, no fault politicians, leading a no fault democracy. No wonder civil wars happen.
