All4One I like your points on many issues in your posts
Removing cost and profit to crooks will reduce the crooks but that does not remove them from society
They move their skill and finance to crime elsewhere
Big crime gets bigger and bigger and more diverse as it becomes more profitable and gets popular support then gets washed/invested into legit companies which corrupts them
That same crime reduction strategy for murder rape violence and theft reaching epidemic proportions could indicate some in society to wanting legalising same.... then we have real Anarchy
We've crossed onto the wrong fork in the road... need to go back to real punishment for small criminals and heavy handed crippling punishment for ig borganised crime and corporate crime
That fork in the road where we decised to remove and make punishment illegal in parents homes and schoolrooms
Sure no one gets the "cuts" as a discipline now...... now we have automatic guns knives drugs and killings in our schools and drugs and murder in our streets
Well isn't that a great forward social movement result
Did someone back there at the fork switch the signpost that said "to eutopia"
