Some farm implements, some seed, and a "cooler" for all the Steve McQueen wannabees. Simple, effective, and cheap. And I bet the crime rate would plummet as well.
Yes, drug dealers. assaulters, and burglars should NOT be out on the street among us. But, unfortunately, they ARE because the Police only catch a certain % of them. Which is supposed to be a deterrent, and it is. But, maybe social changes would be an equal or better deterrent. As to the remainder of the post.........it seemed to me, to be heavy on the Draconian side.
