much heavier on telling people what not to do and threatening dire
consequences, than they are on helping people to help us.
This sounds like a splendid idea. Perhaps we could supplement it by
informing criminals that they can avoid a life of crime by getting an
education and a job, or maybe we could tell politicians to tell the
truth. Or maybe News of the World journalists could be informed of the
many story-gathering opportunities that don't involve hacking into
people's voicemail systems.
