Rigged Game
Socially developed law and order is an attractive alternative to simply shooting people who violate norms of morality. That said, a system whereby government can create such things as radioactive wastelands and industry can leave behind petrochemical dumps, illustrates just how little is socially developed anymore.
Almost all land use regulatory regimes have become a means for insider trading and tax evasion, as well as a way to dissipate public participation through adversarial activities designed to produce an anti-democratic outcome. In other words, virtually all public interest conflict is now a rigged game at which only lawyers, lobbyists, and politicians benefit.
Which is not surprising, given that they mostly work for the same clients.
