Citizens are expected to be law abiding. Law abiding citizens ARE having more previleges and rewards than those who are not in that they have the protection of law for their lives. This is the way it should be, and there can be no question about it.

Also, it follows that those who are not law abiding citizens, should not have previleges or rewards of any kind. And that is the way it is.

What is left to debate is whether there should be a system of rewarding citizens who do things beyond the call of their duty as law abiding citizens.
