January 19, 201511 yr But the point is it just isn't sustainable to expect people to play according to rules which punish them for being good. That's like saying if the guy down he road is a burglar and manages to get away with it- or even not- then I'm being punished for not being a burglar myself. There's no punishment for being good, you just accept that there will be punishment if you are bad. What a criminal does is largely, since you do have certain extra rights to stop people being actively bad such as self defence against assault, irrelevant to what you do. If I decide to get some of that great burglar action because my neighbour gets away with it that just makes me a criminal as well.
