"Fixing" the problem(s) is not easy. Here is a really radical idea:
Make narcotic drugs legal and free, or at least very inexpensive. Making drugs legal and free would go a LONG way towards reducing theft, if that is considered to be the **BIG** problem. While I actually agree with your approach (and would have REALLY supported it in my early 20s :-), I wonder about the social costs of such an action. If drugs were freely available (or nearly so), would the stigma of addiction diminish? Would it become "okay" to lay around stoned all day long, as it is in some Caribbean cultures? Is being non-productive a bad thing, as a society? Or would drugs simply diminish and die, over time, must like cigarettes are doing now? Dunno. -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination"
