It is my belief that any system that is built around guarding against those who would take advantage of the system, rather than those who would not is doomed to eventual failure. Simply because of its inefficiency.

Tell that to pensioners who get their pension checks stolen or those living in most dictatorships where force is the only law.
While I might admire those who look only at the good in people it is pretty clear to me that many people do bad things. Many more people would do bad and/or worse things if there were no systems to stop them. Without laws against exploitation, exploitation becomes the norm. Even with laws it happens too often.

Just curious how much? I couldn't find a price for one or even find a 1000 page one. Although I do think it could be obtained legally without taking out a second mortgage.
