Contemporary social policy as a whole appears to be a cycle of reaction and hysteria. There's very little substance to this process, in the form of empiricism or evidenced-based feedback. This cycle appears to be a by-product of our modern information mediums. I think that generations prior to ours (I too am approaching 40) weren't as vulnerable to the whims of society's most easily frightened and manipulated members. I think the only solution is to vote with our feet, and leave the hysterics behind. I suspect this process is well underway, now that the more educated members of society have the ability to work from home.
