Well, I answered this is my post.
In this case, you are having gov't do the work.
In my case, that I listed in my post, you do the work.
My way = you do it on your own and our gov't doesn't have to waste time/money with it.
Also my way = everybody gets what they want.
My way, again = doesn't cost a penny
The gov't way = costs more money and only the people in the "pro" column are happy.
Plus, you (collective) did for yourselves, rather than have gov't do the work for you.
The government didn't have to be involved in this.
Edit: I don't want government to engage in every "will of the people". If you want our gov't more socialistic, than obviously you would disagree with me. I think our government is big enough, we have enough laws and intrusion (too much, if you ask me), we don't need to expand its powers even more. At some point, people need to realize that they can accomplish many things on their own, without involving the government.
