Okay--its like this:
     To put it bluntly, we should make the subway system idiot proof, 
just like well written sofware, so it won't do harm unless pushed so far 
that there is no way out.  Make it so that the person has to actively 
jump right under the poor train or whatever.  I am not for protectionism 
for the stupid, but we have to make up our minds if we are gonna either 
protect or take the losses and not cry over them.  At present American 
soeciety says we should do the protectionism thing, because we like to 
cry over the losses too much.  Thats fine if applied equally.
     WEll, later on--I'm out of here for the moment.
