It used to be that people like that got put away in facilities. Then,
in 1963, the jackasses in the government decided that was wrong, and
turned them all loose. Like you say, many emotionally disturbed people
have no idea they are emotionally disturbed and are not going to

There is no way this sort of thing can be "privatized", or

Roughly 86 per year.
Ohio, for example 10 white, 16 black.
Emmet Till's murder was significant in many ways and an
oultier in the sense that most received no publicity whatsoever.
There's nothing good to say about that, but Emmett Till's
death was a significant event toward passage of Mr
Eisenhower's 1957 Civil Rights Act.
As always, one man's crucial incident is another's

p.s. The first USA lynching was of a group of Italians in
New Orleans. No one talked about 'civil rights' in that
context, and yet they did die at the end of a rope.

But I wonder... how many that were hung were in fact guilty of the
crime that they were executed for?
In the Italian lynching 6 of the 19 had been declared innocent.
( it was also the introduction of the word "mafia" into the U.S.
dialect)

talk. Instead they just ignored the reason(s).

Andrew, I remember you arguing in favor of legalizing drugs. Am I mistaken?
Cannabis should be legalized. It's practically harmless.
People should be allowed to grow it at home, like they are in Uruguay.
Most American States just "legalized" the Mafia, and profits finance
other crimes. In Uruguay there is no profit involved, so it is no
longer a problem.
Opioids prescriptions OTOH should be severely controlled. Most
addicts start off taking someone's "back pain medicine".
There are practically no opioid addicts in Brazil, because any
doctor that prescribes has to justify WHY he prescribed it. Cancer
usually gets a pass, but temporary pains like kidney stones,
fractures etc do NOT. Expect to lose your license for prescribing in
these cases( a couple of doses is admissible, but not a week
prescription)
Trafficking opiates should be punished with life imprisonment.
Pity most of it is done by military and para-military groups that went
to Afghanistan, they are practically above the law in the US. The
brunt of police oppression is on users and small dealers. When was the
last time they intercepted a multi-ton shipment?
Cocaine and its derivatives (crack)should also be combated.
It's not addictive, people that use it do so because law enforcement
either does not take it seriously, or is involved in the distribution.
Tha DEA is famous in Brazil for pressuring judges to release the
really big drug lords. Bolsonaro was using the presidential plane to
traffic it, and the far-right wing PSDB party was practically financed
by cocaine trafficking.
My take on drugs ...
The drug that kills more than any other is alcohol. But nobody
says that. Bad for business. And too many addicts.

It used to be that people like that got put away in

in 1963, the jackasses in the government decided that
was wrong, and
turned them all loose. Like you say, many emotionally
disturbed people
have no idea they are emotionally disturbed and are not
going to
voluntarily submit to treatment.
Those facilities were NEVER properly funded and became
nothing more than poorly managed prisons.Most of the
lunatics on the streets now are severely addicted people
that cannot and woulod not be cured of their addiction.
Fentanyl will kill them and therw's no way to stop it.
In theory.

Andrew, I remember you arguing in favor of legalizing drugs.
Am I mistaken?
I'm agnostic, and there are serious concerns on every side
of that argument.
I believe I wrote merely that 100 years of worldwide Heroin
ban has cost huge amounts of money, attention, all sorts of
resources (human labor not otherwise productive) and ruined
lives and yet it's cheaper and more pure than ever and in
most neighborhoods can be delivered faster than a pizza.
This is not a successful policy.

Duh, couldn't find anything on that(other than a snippet about
the takeover of a piece of Croatia by the right wing Italians, which apparently was the source of fascism in Italy). There's a book too.

Yes, that's a lesson not well remembered.
The meddling do-gooders of WCTU and their ilk ramped up
their opposition to Demon Rum all through the late 1800s.
Not being stupid, they realized that removing the whiskey
tax would collapse the Federal government, and so their
long range plans included the equally horrible 16th
Amendment as a precursor to the 17th. Sadly, that yet stands.
Still and all, the many and various issues are complex. For
example, the dramatic relaxation of cannabis regulation and
enforcement has not served children well. I do not have a
simple snappy solution to any of it.

Are narcotics dangerous?

Narcotics are opioids. The user develops an increasing
tolerance to the drug, needs larger and larger doses to get the same
effect.
But all narcotics are respiratory inhibitors. One day the dose
will be enough to cause respiratory arrest.
When people die of an opioid overdose it is usually not
deliberate.
I'd say narcotics are very dangerous, unless you WANT to die.

PS Cannabis has the opposite effect in most people. Lower and lower
doses are necessary to achieve the same effect.
