Yes because you always allow people to have knives while they are signing a confession admitting to a triple murder.
At midnight. At YOUR house.
This reminds me of the first Robocop movie. On TV you'd see these 30 second news blurbs with nuclear explosions and obvious coverups but no one cared, they were too busy watching "I'd buy that for a dollar", a retarded gameshow. Robocop defined the low information voter perfectly all those years ago and journalism was dead in that future.
