For some reason, this guy doesn't post in the SAT.General newsgroup 
anymore, probably because nobody reads it.

One of the "dirty little secrets" of the United States is that everyone 
is so busy leading their lives constructively that no one likes policing 
anyone else.  The attitude is very much "live and let live".  Or, "live 
and let die" if the person dying is some hopeless poverty case living in 
a crime ridden neighborhood.  Out of sight...: out of mind.

Thus, we pass law after law enforcing this and that, and refuse to 
allocate the money to hire the people, and SUPRISE!, no enforcement 
occurs.  Even when money is allocated and people are hired, often 
enforcement doesn't occur anyway, the federal government anti-drug effort 
is the most outstanding example.  Many of the books written by ex-fbi and 
local cops shows how they are so fascinated watching crooks at work they 
never bother to bust them, even though they have more than enough 
evidence to prosecute.

So if we aren't going to prosecute people messing up our kids lives with 
drugs, what the hell are we going to do about graffitti?
