Question
creating a law to restrict the personal use of cars and requiring everyone to use public transportation would be as unthinkable as revising the laws of gravity. there are some forces so fundamental that we have no control over them. what makes this analogy unsound? 1 societies do have control over the laws they make. 2 controlling personal car use takes minimal effort. 3 rules and laws always have some exceptions.
The analogy compares laws made by society to the laws of gravity. However, societies have the power to create, change, or abolish their laws. In contrast, the laws of gravity are natural - physical laws beyond human control. So the key flaw is that societies do have control over the laws they make.
