Namely punishing adolescents (or anyone) for substance abuse because you're trying to protect them. Now, obviously drugs like meth and crack greatly hurt communities and raise crime but it's clear that our current system isn't working. [/quote] Our current system has flaws, but we are not protecting them from themselves. We are protecting society from them. I rather wake up in the morning and step outside and take a deep breathe to get really high (on life) than having to see a lawless society. (I know, extreme case). On the issue itself, I do not support the cop's action as it is not right in our society nor it is not needed. However, I also fault the protestors as well, because I do not agree with the message from the protestors' side. Basically, they said that Wall Street is destroying the world (or so a friend of mine put it). A part of it is true, but the other part is false. It is our fault as well. We did not plan ahead and thus we fall. |
