Yeager, that little blurb you liked was not a solution. Neither was what I posted earlier.
You are asking for a solution to a problem with people and population. IMO the root of this situation is we no longer raise children. They are just popped out of Mom and the "parents" expect the TV, internet and schools to raise their children for them. We license people to drive, operate machinery, practice professions yet anyone can have a kid and pretty much do as they please with it.
No one is responsible for their actions anymore. It's all just an "accident" to explain negligence or acts of ommisions. Throwing money at the problem is the "solution" most often employed by a court for civil actions. People are "insured" to prevent them from bearing responsibility for their actions and they seem to feel they deserve insurance from everything else.
Frankly, the solution you want is simple. Go live somewhere by yourself where there are no people. There you can be safe from people and never have to worry about being murdered, assaulted or have anything stolen from you. Until you do sometrhing like that you will always be subject to someone elses intrusion into your life.
Until then, like I said and like Toad said, you are free to abdicate any and all of YOUR rights you wish, but leave mine alone.
