Chiming in....
I think I'd like to talk about CONTROL. We all HAVE to have control in our lives, but there is a difference between GOOD control and BAD control.
Good control would include things like stop lights and street signs. Without those, we'd have no control over traffic.
Bad control would include any suppressive or oppressive action such as being robbed or harassed.
Unfortunately, is it the actions of society which determine how much of either types of control are created in this world. The criminal actions inspire heavier legal or justice actions.
Honest people have rights which need to be protected and if that means that we need to go through security checks in order to separate us from the bad guys, then I'm all for it. After all, we honest folks get to walk away free while the other guys get caught (hopefully).
The idea is to separate out all the criminals from the society so that we can one day walk in a nicer world. However, the biggest problem in this system is that the criminals are not rehabilitated in our current prison systems except for programs such as Criminon which has the highest statistics on the planet for reforming criminals. But, again, it's the HELP thing. Especially in the US.
Prisons outside of the US are grabbing for the help of Criminon while the US says they don't need help. Yet, crime rates go up in the US while crime rates in places using Criminon go down.
Go figure. Some authorities like the chaos so they can exert bad control and keep people under their thumbs.
If you think this bad economy just happened by accident, you may want to think again...
