What’s the Churchill quote? “You can count on Americans to do the right thing, once all other possibilities have been exhausted.”? Something like that.
Every time I suggest a solution that would work, I’m attacked by “leftists” that condemn anything except a moderate approach. I want change now. Some of the people convicted of these bogus crimes will die of old age in prison. Change has to happen now. A progressive approach would solve it, but the people here don’t want to hear it. They want small, safe changes, changes in spending, nondisruptive changes in legislation, don’t rock the boat nonsense. I want complete abolition.
