    It is a shame how many people are in prisons. Personally, I wish they would do away with imprisoning people for personal drug crimes, prostitution. It is a huge waste of resources to arrest, prosecute, and jail these people, and I'm sure some others as well. The government should have no business criminalizing what people do to their own bodies.

    It is a win win, less money wasted and more freedom for people. Someday it will be so obvious.

    Gulliani really cleaned up Times Square with a zero tolerance policy.

    Considering that Russia has a 1/3 of the US population, they may even surpass the US rate.
