I'll figure it out for you, and if you qualify, chain you to my basement wall for whatever period of time is necessary to bring you around to a rational point of view.
Thanks, but no thanks.
Now, tell me about that government part. I always love to hear how the government would never permit me to do that!
Government preventing you from chaining me to your basement wall is a considerably narrower mandate than them generally deciding what is irrational behavior ... if you're implying a contradiction, it's not there.
This sort of argument would have never been allowed back in the day FUR SHUR (and you'd still be chained to that wall).
