Assuming these people don't understand that their ideas are unworkable is a mistake. Don't believe for a second they are stupid or ignorant.

The difference between a criminal and a law-abiding citizen isn't that the citizen knows that crimes are wrong, it's that the citizen cares that crimes are wrong and the criminal doesn't.
