Rules of Engagement can certainly be to kill everything that moves, and then kill it again when it stops moving. And maintaining order in the elite's backyard is more high-stakes than military adventures. Even if the Rules were more restrained, where is the discipline to enforce them? When's the last time a cop faced the death penalty for misconduct?

Comment Re:we're missing the METERS (Score 2) 218

How does a meter provide an expected charge? I guess you can get out if it is getting too high, but an accurate estimate for the whole trip is what is missing. The "legally binding" meter binds you just as much, while I imagine with these services with flexible pricing you could dispute the charges to get your money back, though they'd ban you.

You'd need to fix the women first. The sexually aggressive guys are the ones they find sexiest. But of course you'd need to fix reality first. Dominating is how you win on Earth. If anything abortion and birth control have damaged the species by blocking the proliferation of rapey genes, resulting in a listless population.

Every country has plans to mobilize men, except maybe in Africa where they prefer to draft little boys. The socialist countries don't need any kind of registration because all citizens are already tabulated into the collective through national IDs, health insurance, welfare, etc. Though the OP's complaint is rather trivial, I'd be more outraged about the average female's tax/entitlement ratio.
