Everywhere You Look, We’ve Downgraded Real Problems Into Mere ‘Issues’
One simple word might help explain how every last thing in our society seems to have become a point of contention.No solution is offered here.
Historically the separation of church and state has been enough when paired with respect for other's beliefes.
Our Union has come to a condition when beliefs, with or without a creed, interfere with the responsibilities of the civil state.
I am of the opinion that the civil state must control the public interactions within our national borders.
I expect a constitutional case for such control can and should be built and resolved.
I believe that resolution would resolve the troubling issues.

Maintenance and overdose antagonists are the best that can be imposed on a free addict.
The money could be taken out of the drug trade if that was politically possible.
Many more would die soon. Others would kick.
Petty crime would collapse.
There would probably be a spike in gang violence as groups attempted to maintain monopolies without police backing.
