This type of society will only work best if the individual controls his own behavior, assuming responsibility and restraining from actions that would endanger another person or infringe on his liberties. It is crucial that the police and the justice system do their part, but again, it all comes down to personal responsibility on the part of the people. Total control by the government is not the course that the nation should take, but the government should take some more responsibility on the issues of gun control, alcohol and drugs, and teen pregnancy, perhaps even amending the amendments that have protected America for so long. If the people of a nation change, the government should accommodate these changes and adjust for survival. America needs to adapt to its crime-filled environment.
Citizens have excess taxes on everything anyway.
People over 18 are old enough to make decisions on their own, so the government should back off and let them do so.
