Daddy Issues

 The situation isn't dissimilar to that of a child who refuses to clean their room until a parent threatens punishment, said Dan Esty, director of the Yale Center for Environmental Law and Policy and head of the Yale Initiative on Sustainable Finance. [More]

So it's a parent/child relationship? Dan's idea of what government is for and mine are existentially incompatible. Remember what Vanderboegh used to ask?

Does the government serve the people, or do the people serve the government?

Whose horses and hounds are they, anyway?

Ha ha! So they're going to try for "voluntary self-regulation." Bet they get treated to this government dance:

As for the "violence rating system"... the president thanked the industry for adopting such a system voluntarily, as had been requested by him and the first lady. Their reward for complying voluntarily? The government will now impose on them a better, federal system. See how it pays to cooperate?
