... at least that goes along with how I think:
I'm all for capitalism, but in some cases there are some things that need to be regulated because of their potential harm. Why is it that an 18 year old can rack up huge debts no problem, but yet there is a seatbelt law forcing him to wear a seatbelt, for his own good? We are quick to outlaw drugs because of their potential to be abused but even though debt can ruin lives, the government has a "laissez faire" attitude.
