I don't know exactly what causes the dichotomy that seems inherent in the human nature of some individuals...hypocrisy, just the shear desire to control others or just plain ignorance and the inability to see their own contradicting views...but whatever it is, it seems to be the very thing that draws me to these type discussions. Always amazed at people's fear of some action...all the while advocating the very thing they fear... In this particular case, it seems those that fear regulation and licensing for our recreational modeling pursuits are the very one's calling for exactly that... I know, I know, someone will reply that we need self regulation as a means to mitigate this post...but regulation is regulation...self imposed or not.

I guess I am just a dinosaur holding the belief that people should be ultimately held individually accountable for their actions...regardless of whether a law addresses a particular issue or not. In my mind, in all the specificity of law that some seem to desire gives credence to those that take harmful action not addressed by such laws... I see that as a greater danger at the end of the day.
