I love the analogy of the "car and speed limit" you gave in this context.
Middle-ground policies, mildly enforced, make possible both a liberty to be found while following the law
I very well agree with you on this. I remember what a friend once told me that "policies are meant for people to obey, not disobeyed". In this case, middle-ground policies will be more likely obeyed than the ones with obvious straitjackets.
Nice piece here.
Please stay safe
