What is there to protect anyone from doing bad things? You are using the same exact rationale as the anti-gun crowd, if we make it illegal then it wont happen. (NO, IT WILL HAPPEN BUT THOSE THAT DO IT WILL BE PUNISHED, LEARN A LESSON, AND MIGHT NOT DO IT AGAIN)
Public transportation as the key to the drug use and reduced crime rates....hmmmmm:
- If bank robbers had to call a cab to leave the scene of the crime, you may be right.
- If drug users had to wait in line at Walgreens for an RX of their favorite illegal substance, and had to take a cab to get there, then yes, I agree the drug use would slow.
- Hey, what if we had a public buss sytems that would load up all the bank robbers and carry them from bank to bank downtown so we'd have fewer cars on the road, fewer police chases, and fewer vehicles emitting greehouse gasses?
- And what the hey, lets make free drugs avaialble on the busses that carry the robbers so that they can be more comfortable and relaxed when they commit armed robberies, so therefore they the robbers being more relaxed they would be less likely to fire their guns in anger.
- And lets set up a govt fund that pays bank robbers a stimulus check if they rob a bank with a gun and can prove they didn't fire any shots. that would reduce gun violence don't you think.
