Every society fundamentally relies on willful compliance. Sure, you can force a few outsiders, but once a sizeable population stops being compliant, it just breaks down.

Yay, you solved murder, give yourself a good pat on the back.

You're saying that murderers shouldn't be blamed for murdering?

I'm saying telling people they shouldn't do something is about as useless as farting in the wind. Blaming someone does nothing, it's the force of action behind the words that mean something.
