There's no compelling reason to disagree with your post.

There's no compelling reason to disagree with your post, either. Except, of course, for this bit:
I happen to think, however, he is exactly the type of personality our country needed at this moment in history because big changes were called for.
It remains beyond my ken that anyone in his right mind could want to go Trump's way.


Apparently California will no longer prosecute a theft unless the value of the stolen property exceeds $900. What do you think about the wisdom of that kind of change? It would reduce costs.


On one hand you can make better use of scarce funds. On the other hand, you lose moral ground by tolerating deviance. It's also disdainful of the cohort for whom less than $900 can be a fortune. I would prefer finding a way to reduce costs of prosecution through some sort of JV justice system. We could also find ways to cut the costs of the varsity justice system. One wonders whether it needs all that overhead.

Leftists in control of city government in Dallas have done the same nonsense.

It is insane and serves only to raise a generation of people with no respect for the law.
