Hmm an all powerful dev body eh?
Think about this(you might not get it at first but hang on in there and you might make some sense out of it):
A kid, say \"JOEY\", gets a new ball and balls are a rare commodity. Several children besides Joey want to play with his ball. Joey unlike his neighbour, say \"BILL\", who also has a ball and charges his friends to play with it, lets everyone play with him for free. Now thats fine and a good idea. Bill\'s idea is good too but Joey\'s is kinder and more philanthropic. Now Joey thinks that the other kids might throw the ball into the bushes and lose it or break a neighbours window and have his ball confiscated. He worked hard to get it and he wants it to last and be fun for as long as it does. Now what can Joey do to ensure to make none of this happens. I\'d say he has these options.
1. He could give the other kids the finger and play with it all by himself.
2. He could set down rules like,\"no throwing higher than a foot\", \"no tossing faster than 0.5 Km/Hr\" and \"No throwing further than 5 feet\".
3.He could get a big stick and sit with it at the corner of the field and threaten the kids that whoever loses the ball will be severely beaten up.
4. He could charge the kids for playing like bill to make sure he is not at a loss if the ball is lost.
5. He could set up a net around the play ground and ask the kids to play in that area only.
6. He could tell the other kids about his concerns and point out that if they ball was lost they\'d have to pay bill to play and then just trust their judgement.
Think about it. Don\'t tell me if I am right or wrong for I have said nothing. Just say what you think joey should do or if he has other options.
Regardless, this announcement of the dev monitor body I just heard has really made me sit up and think. What is better:
\"Higher tax rates and living costs\"
or
\"Big brother breathing down your neck\"
I wonder?
