Simple. We want less crime.
We know how to get less crime, but it is difficult to put in place. Have intact families produce children with an at-home working father.
Have people learn that theft is wrong, and that you should follow the ten commandments.
Make people responsible for their own lives, instead of wards of the state.
It has worked very well when it has been tried.
The problem, of course, is that it is directly opposed to the Progressive agenda.
Many countries have achieved much lower crime rates than exist in many U.S. cities.
The biggest single thing needed is a respect for the rule of law, and an expectation that justice will generally be done.
True; but we SUBSIDIZE bastardy in this country!
