How we went from Dragnet and The Brady Bunch to this current sorry state is a mystery only to liberals.

I saw an old episode of Dragnet recently. I'm guessing it was late '50's vintage. The crime under investigation was fraud in the door-to-door sale of magazine subscriptions. The "sales" people were impersonating a nurse or a marine veteran.

That was an interesting look at crime during the period. I then watched a new show called Bait Car. This shows LAPD in 2011 putting decoy bait cars on the street and waiting for them to be stolen. From the 30 minutes I spent with the show, it seems in 2011 pretty much every resident of LA will steal a car.

A lot has changed in the US and not a lot of it changed for the good.

I like that show. Sometimes there are people standing nearby that tell the thieves it's a bait car, but they try to steal it anyway. They can't stop themselves.
