In the strident discourse of modern society it is tempting to believe, and perhaps too often true, that the louder and more persistent the voice, the more likely it is to carry the day, rallying others to a cause by virtue of negativity, repetition, or pure volume.

But that is not always the case. Thankfully.

One case in point is the law regulating Happy-Meal-type toys, passed about a year ago in San Francisco, and at the time deemed a threat to premium toys nationwide, perhaps worldwide. Some argued that toys encouraged children to order Happy-Meal-type fast food and were thereby a contributor to the rampant childhood obesity.
