That which works, doesn't need to be subsidized. You laugh, you learn. You cry, you learn. This is the first story you find in the Bible. Adam and Eve, in the Garden, choosing between the Tree of Life and the Tree of Knowledge.
Some people think it was unfair.
No, it wasn't. It was part of God's plan of salvation. God made man in his image. He made us moral creatures, with the God-like power to choose between right and wrong. Without feedback, we will merely pursue the objects of our prejudice, we will not discover what is God's will.
