If something doesn't work again and again and again how is it a good idea in theory?
What you believe, as always, remains a mystery, since, as usual, it comes with no explanation as to why something can be a good idea in theory but not in practice. Par for the course for you though. Maybe one day I'll be able to get actual reasoning out of you.
A good idea in theory is a good idea in theory.
Your example about drunk driving is terrible. That's obviously a bad idea in theory and in practice.
I don't need to give any examples of a good idea in theory because I know what "in theory" means, Jesus.
In theory, if everyone contributes to the common good, society advances.
In practice, you need to get everyone on board with this idea and that just doesn't happen. When you see your beautiful plan not working because the people are uneducated or simply disagree, you force them to comply... And thus a dictatorship begins with the obvious crappy results.
