No, I just don't believe in one size fits all solutions. People are inherently
different.

The conservatives want to deal with trouble makers by laying down strict enforceable
rules and punishments. This works for some but not all. The liberals want to give the
trouble makers a little extra help, and that works for some but not all.

And I think there are a few trouble makers, whom we would be much better off if we
bribed them to go away. I.E. a 20 year free all expense paid trip to Jamaica and all
the free pot they can smoke.
