I think the change needs to be personal, social and moral. Peer pressure can accomplish things that are awkward and/or impossible for the law. Remember, the law is a blunt instrument, often wielded by the stupidest and greediest members of our society, so I tend to be very cautious about referring anything to that system.

Follow teh link to see teh sources. I didn't include endnotes in the text I copied, 'cause I figured anybody that curious would at least look at the source.

Note for the section you contest:
