Once upon a time there was a country called Amaya. It was a great country, but it had a serious problem. The citizens of Amaya loved flame-throwers. Unfortunately, every few months an Amayan would enter a building and murder its occupants by spraying them with fire. Sometimes the building was an office building. Sometimes the building was a shopping center or a movie theater. Sometimes the building was a school. Eventually, the people of Amaya became so disgusted by the carnage that they asked the government to hold a referendum.
The referendum had two options, and citizens had to vote for one of the following:
Option 1. The country of Amaya will place firemen and firetrucks at all schools, shopping centers, office buildings, and places of public gatherings such as movie theaters. Because an attack may occur at any time with no warning, firemen must at all times wear fire-proof suits and be armed with a fire extinguisher.
Option 2. The country of Amaya prohibits the sale of flame-throwers.
Which option seems most reasonable?
Which option do you think the Amayans chose?
Which option do you think was successful?
