I wasn't saying the result would be that we each tend to our own legal matters instead of having regulatory agencies. I was saying that when only a tiny fraction of the citizens is legally literate, and only a small fraction of those people are actual trained lawyers, not many people are going to be looking out for our rights, muchless even know what those rights are or should be.
