  1. This is why I moved to a relatively small town far away from any major metro area. No homeless. No violent crime to speak of. No career criminals preying on entire neighborhoods. Nobody on the street corner recruiting fatherless 10-year-olds to gang life... I still think there is a kernel of truth in the BLM protests, that NO ONE is talking about. We're basically re-living Prohibition, with thousands of would-be Al Capone's eager to supply illegal narcotics for a huge profit. Alcohol is still a problem, but we learned that Prohibition was a boon to organized crime and created an entire sub-culture of habitual law-breaking. It's much better to have it legal, tax it, and regulate it. The imperfect solution is to hold people strictly accountable for their behavior. If you drive drunk, you're getting punished. I'm not sure what my "re-imagining" of the War on Drugs looks like, but it doesn't look like what the BLM boosters "re-imagined." When you pass laws that millions of people are going to disobey, you create a society of lawlessness. When you fight a War on Drugs, you end up weaponizing both law enforcement against the people and weaponizing the people against law enforcement. Same for prostitution and gambling. These are not good things, but how do you manage the bad in the best way possible? These are the kinds of questions we need to be asking, but nobody's asking. We go from semi-police state enforcing laws millions violate to de-funding the police. Both are extreme positions. Neither is good government.
