Geez, Doug, have you been out driving lately? I come from Boston, and I can tell you there are MANY drivers around here that should NOT be allowed near a car. I have even seen cruisers ignore flagrant violations. (In England, if ONE INCH of your car is on the pedestrian crossing at a red light you will be bawled out, embarrassed, fined etc. Here, NO ONE fails to get at least half the car into the intersection. Pedestrians MUST walk around.) Morality is fine. In books. If the government were to "monitor" driving better (i.e. more enforcement of the laws) it would be very good in my book. That may be analogous to "training" in your sense. And I would NOT mind cars that had built in mechanical means of preventing death and maiming in case of accidents. And I WOULD be willing to pay more for that. Another thing: reasearch has shown that there are various learning styles. Some folks read a manual before they do anything. Others like to jump right in and resort to the manual only as needed. Neither is more responsible or moral than the other, in my view. These are just styles of learning. // Jim
