So we're back to arguing if the polls determine whether a thing is good? I suppose if I were in Jonestown before the mass suicide most of the people would have agreed that it was a good idea. But it really wasn't.
What I have to stand on is a long history of government being granted more and more power while the same government becomes more incompetent and corrupt.
Faced with the fact that, in Katrina, Walmart gave the keys to LEOs asking that they only leave a note for what they took, you have nothing to stand on.
No. That supports my claim that people will voluntarily help in an emergency without coercion by law. Walmart trusted the officials. But what would have happened if they hadn't trusted them? What if your community has a corrupt government? You should have the option of saying "no thank you" if you suspect that the cops are just out looting.
The law guarantees compensation.
