What you mean is people need to be forced to do what you think is reasonable.

As you think their reasons for doing things are irrelevant.

This kind of thinking leads down a scary road because who is the arbiter if what is reasonable?

10 years ago it would have been reasonable to consider that marijuana is dangerous as all the experts and legal system backed that up.

They were wrong.

So you have to leave room for people to be unreasonable because sometimes they turn out to actually be the reasonable ones.

That is definitely the debate that the Democratic side of the aisle seems to be making as well with the same amount of clarity and nuance.
