A litmus test, white blue or black, for whether people (largely as individuals, but some group influence) can be trusted to fulfill basic social responsibilities.

It's not an analogy that works for me because smart big-box-store-owning businesspersons accept that there will always be assholes among us and they hire teenagers whose job it is to roundup the carts in the parking lots. Others have invented little driving machines to move the whole line of carts back to the front of the store once gathered and then there's the carts with wheels that magically lock at the edge of the parking lot so people can't steal them...
