sometimes i think young people just have to rebel, and if everything is allowed, then they choose what is not allowed. so we have to make a sacrifice and ban something completely harmless, e.g. ripped jeans, spitting on floors or pokemon.

every two decades we could legalize something and ban something else

this way, youth crossing boundaries does not cause any major social problems, and we avoid rebellious behavior such as torchlight processions, book burnings or the smashing of antique vases
