Natural punishment
Good parents, good teachers and good rulers understand: Punishment by Nature works best. When your stupidity is AUTOMATICALLY punished, you learn more quickly and solidly than when you sense an arbitrary human decision.
Beautiful example from the city Street Dept:
They've been threatening fines and towing for many years. Ineffective. Now they simply TELL YOU THE FACT that your car will be trapped by the plowed-out berm.
Good work.
In city govt and in Federal govt, the upper levels are hopelessly infested by hyperevil demons, while the 'mechanical' parts such as Streets or Social Security are run by normal sensible humans.
Later thought: This doesn't fully fit my usual Emersonian Justice theme. Normally I'm discussing a governmental entity defeated by Nature because it fails to understand Nature. This time we have a governmental entity UNDERSTANDING AND USING Natural Justice.
