I remember watching an old Star Trek show where that was tried - didn’t work out so well. Gramps was nodding his head in approval. They have no idea the demon they’d release.

Okay, I don’t like her, but in fairness, I think she’s not saying that eliminating the police would bring about utopia, she’s saying only in a utopia would you not need police.

That’s what I was thinking.
Let them be an example - no gates, no security, leave your doors unlocked 24/7 with no firearms, of course.

".... in fairness, I think she’s not saying that eliminating the police would bring about utopia, she’s saying only in a utopia would you not need police."

Yes, exactly. The headline is written in an inflammatory, distorted manner. Read the original article here and you see that they are more sensible.

Hi.

So, “Escape from New York,” is now a documentary.

Just like, “1984.”

Please, please, do it! We want plenty of cameras in the streets to document the spread of love peace and understanding that will ensue.
