Accepting it or not doesn't undermind that it's true. People
do abuse power from time to time - that's why it should be very important on who we elect to public seats of power.
In MO, 300 years ago, whoever was in charge of the A-bombs and Hydro-Bombs sure messed up, turning a beautiful green planet into a continuous desert wasteland. Even Aswald's people suffer from radiation posioning some 300
years after the fact.
Now, who should decide something that important or not?
Someone should. I can imagine how many irate people there will be in the world if normal cars were taken off the road to reduce the amount of air pollution, accidental deaths, drops in crime rate and other things like that. No one will look at those kind of bonuses, only the fact that they will care about is that they can't drive a car any more.
It may have been a tough decision for Fumi to set her own people back hunderds, even thousands of years, back to old-skool technology but this way, she was probably hoping that they will re-learn that there is a heavy price/responsibilty that comes with technology. It's usually people who don't earn their place in the world that ruin themselves and others in abusing whatever priviledges that come with it.
