#3 Beat 'em till they stop or can't pop. Works for drunkards too as well as tailgaters and loud drum musik players, and kids and slow horses.

#6 And pretty soon cities will be offering junkies this for *free* much like their needle exchange programs. "Here have this and if you start to O.D. then have your buddy inject you with it.". More people will be junkies than ever. Which will fit the pols just find - a junked-out citizen is a quiet citizen. Just as long as they vote democrat (or someone can vote democrat for them).

#8 Only if they wanted to lower the crime rate 3dc. That often is not the case with Pols - they don't want to actually solve the problem but merely look like they are doing something about it or they can blame someone / something else ( Conservatives, Corporations, Vets, Guns, etc...). Or use it to extend their power over people.

See War on Poverty, War on Drugs, War on , and now it looks like War on Terror as well. There is a negative incentive for the politician to actually fix the problem - they need the problem in order to have a reason for people to vote for them?
