Good post, but this line in particular bears repeating (because even many conservative Freepers apparently just don't get it):

Of course not, then the political parties would have one less ‘issue’ to campaign on.

Same with abortion, or guns. Neither party has a vested interest in actually dealing with the problem, for if it was solved... how could they motivate their base to come out and vote?
