There will always be people who will try to game the system for their own benefit and to the detriment of everyone else. Punishing, tar-and-feathering or whatever after the fact doesn't fix that problem and it never will. To fix that problem, one needs to change the incentive system. To do that requires good, marginally fair and transparent rules and regulations and fair referees who understand the rulebook and enforce it consistently. We've had neither.

So Amen to what Ken says about Congress.
