Δαφνη Ευτυχια Αρθουρος

"Somehow, there is never a 'right' time to get upset and require regulation to forestall a bad result. The [usual] line is 'it's too soon, it's too soon, it's too soon . . . it's too late' usually because the bad behavior is now an industry standard or is being relied on or for whatever reason it is too late to create a rule to prevent the predicted bad outcome. Or, as I like to say 'turns out last Tuesday at 3 a.m. was the one time when it would have been OK to regulate -- too bad you missed it.'" -- osewalrus, 2010-08-18
