Then shall we have laws that mandate free cookie dispensers on every corner? That would make society pretty happy, I would think.

Not when food prices shoot up, it also upsets anybody who doesn't support unhealthy eating practices. Most people would not like this.

That's... what I just said. I'll take that as you conceding my point.

It's very different to say Americans think every criminal is a murderer waiting to pounce than to say Americans prepare for the rare incidence a person happens to be a murderer, but I'm not surprised an American wouldn't recognise the nuance of their own words.

You know, except when people literally die, which isn't usually a consequence of bike theft.

A bike theft involves property stolen 100% of the time, speeding is not harmful 99.999% of the time, and when harm occurs it is because of additional circumstances. Cars don't suddenly go careening across 3 lanes of traffic in to a building when the speedometer reads 1 over the limit.

a crime whose harm can usually be completely mitigated by insurance

The need for insurance is caused by theft, other people getting robbed directly effects how much you pay out on insurance. You're a victim of the crime before it even occurs.

speeding - a crime which contributes to thousands of deaths every year in America - absolutely should.

Speeding itself does not cause any deaths, it's an exacerbating circumstance to deaths just like, say, pothole in the road that destabilise vehicles in crashes. This makes government just as responsible for road fatalities but I don't see you guillotining your state representatives.

Speeding is another example of the failings of the justice system. Because the system can't reliably determine when people are driving recklessly, an arbitrary speed boundary is set criminalising most incidents which are completely harmless.

Did you not read the part where I said you need a set of logical principles to guide your line-drawing, or did you not understand it?

You take-a the stuff, we take-a tha life. It's very clear and unambiguous, property ownership is king. If it's not yours and you try to take ownership you die, if you do not take things that are not yours, you live.

Does the simplicity overwhelm you?
