Every day we stray farther from the premise that we should be allowed to install / modify software on the computers we own.

It's amazing how often we hamper the majority of society by protecting the bottom quintile from the consequences of their own mistakes.

Everyone makes mistakes

Protecting the bottom quintile from consequences of thier mistakes also protects everyone else if they ever make those mistakes in a momentary lapse

Maybe society shouldn't be structured in such a way that people have to be constantly hyper vigilant to avoid mistakes with high consequences
