-which is precisely why your statement in non-sensical. Temptation, greed and the like? Those aren't things we're -susceptible to- as though they were a communicable disease....that's part of what it means to be a human being, and our conscience is equally capable of leading us to "temptation..greed and the like"......so following that conscience isn't actually preventative. If we're enforcing -against- some subset of very human behaviors we are again..talking about "mans law" and it seems pretty arbitrary in your example, specifically. Greed should be illegal? Temptation should be illegal? Even an "honest" enforcement agent (whatever that's supposed to mean in context) becomes a bit of a cunt if those are the types of laws he's enforcing. Greed and temptation never need to leave a persons head to be very present, very real, and very much the consequences our our conscience.....you're awfully damned close to advocating for the enforcement of thoughtcrime...provided that the enforcement agent is "honest"....
GL with that.....I'll be here on my porch, should your dream ever be realized.....waiting for the opportunity to do what my conscience would tell me to do in that scenario...which is to shoot your honest enforcement agents on sight.
