It&#x27;s sad that instead of talking about what works best and how to solve problems, ideology is injected into the discussion by attempting to make it an issue of &#x27;social-engineering&#x27; &#x2F; &#x27;environmental cause&#x27; vs. &#x27;freedom&#x27;.<p>I always thought any ideology was dangerous, something to be shunned. It&#x27;s a primary cause of wars and suffering, and of paralysis like the what we see in the US Congress now. Like anger, often part of current ideologies, it innoculates humans from thinking rationally by ruling out any discussion or thought, and thus it enables people to do dangerous, irrational, and bad things. (Often those effects are the intent of the ideological leaders, to manipulate their followers.) Once upon a time I thought we all learned that in school; if we did, many seem to have forgotten.
