Damn straight, John. Well written and to the point. I am glad you emphasized the selfishness and lack of cost to the proponents of these ideas, because it shows how callow and thoughtless they actually are. The shoplifting thing drives me crazy, because many shop owners put their homes up as collateral for their business loans. If their shop is looted, they could lose everything, and it's stupid to hear a rejoinder like; "well not if they have insurance." Does anyone actually think that business insurance will make them whole, and give them a profit for their labor, because if you do, think again. You may be closed for weeks to repair, reorder, and restock, even after you get your settlement, and how many times can you afford to do that before you have to quit? Total lack of empathy by people who only pretend that they care.

Great piece, John and dead on accurate.
