Reply #71: Zero tolerance means a machine can't work...

[SteveM]

But society is not a machine. Why do prohibitionists have such a passion for trumpeting zero tolerance in a society when they know it won't work? I can only speculate that you and others have no real interest in seeing that the policy works (vis a vis crime, violence, murder rates, etc.), but only in the deep pleasurable feeling you receive in proclaiming:

My morals are more moral than your morals -- and I can put you in jail.
