Lately I've been a might curious about whether certain of you would be willing to stand in front of an avalanche, hold up your hand and shout "Stop" to the avalanche. Surely men have this power, don't they? Pass a law and avalanches will stop. Anybody who doesn't believe this is an avalanche denier.
This metaphor seems to be tailor-made for being turned around on you.
Doubtful. I know enough--- having seen enough avalanches on TV which is a good place to see them--to know that standing in front of one trying to stop it by holding up your hand and shouting "Stop" won't do any good. I worry, though, about those who think governments can pass laws that can stop a moving avalanche from doing what it does. They just might try something like that.
