Dinkins enforced the drug laws of the state. All government types, from Dinkins to Guiliani to Clinton to Bush, agree on those laws. It enables them to keep taking and spending my money, while they wipe away more of the constitution that used to restrain them from injecting themselves into my life.
A grandiose statement, but you never answered the question. Would you rather live in Dinkins NYC or Guiliani NYC.
