I'm not frustrated. I'm disgusted.

Non-functional, feel-good rules absolutely should be done away with. Beyond not changing behavior (here, stopping violence) they create disrespect for law in general. Prohibition of alcohol is the classic example.

As for drugs in particular, we need to find a better way than punishment. Drugs are at all-time highs in supply and quality and all-time lows in price on the street. Econ 101. We can't build prisons fast enough to hold the convicted users, so judges are ordering us to set them free by the 10,000's. States are ignoring federal felony statutes to legalize some "controlled substances." What does that tell us about the status of the "War on Drugs"?

OK, I do agree with that. There are some laws that are so unnecessary that their enforcement is adding more problems then they are solving.

Have you looked into social Darwinism. Its really seems up your ally. I think there was a German dude who emerged in the 30s who also had a similar outlook on how to handle social problems.

That's hardly the same thing....

Although there are Governments in the World today that have been around for 1,000's of years basically unchanged and they still work.....

Then Take the US, it's falling apart only after a little over 200 years......

So who's right and who's wrong?

I seriously doubt the US will still be around in it's current form 200 years from now....

This thread is sufficiently off topic now I think.
