John, you first mock the idea of laws; then you turn around and praise
the strict laws and enforcement of Singapore.

It's looking like you don't really have a rational point. You're just
arguing to argue.

Nice try. You delete the majority of the message and seize on a single
paragraph.

But no, I don't mock the idea of laws, but I do mock your seeming
assertion that simply making a new law somehow, in some magically way,
will make everything wonderful.

Which, of course, I never said. Not even close. Your "straw man" technique is
so obvious, it should embarrass you.
