RE: Solutions to Regulatory Problems
Very good point. The gov't can regulate things all they want but, try as they might, they can't eliminate anything. People have things that they enjoy, or in some cases need (medical marijuana) and they will find a way to attain them.

Or you have an anarchist society where everyone is responsible, educated, and well informed.
Until you get this, some kind of methods have to be used to save people from their own stupidity, especially if their bad choices will end up us consting more taxes....
Don't get me wrong I'd love to see a free society, but until we get there some kind of measures should be taken to address that issue.
I will follow you so that we may continue these discussions in the future. I only have a few blog posts so far, but feel free to examine them. They are over similar issues to what we speak of here, and I really enjoy the interaction with commenters. That's what steemit is all about for me.
