Already two seperate
analogous things, garbage
collection and policing should
be merged into one service.
Criminal code, DSM and by-
laws etc would be reduced to
guidelines for collection and
handling of undesireables.
Latent result would reduce
status of law from a magical
force
of religious goodness and
morality to one of practical
facility.
Also children could be
disciplined by scaring them
with threats of 'the garbage
man'.

[+] I don't know that garbage collection personnel would

can convince them it's in the best interest of society to
make cops at least somewhat productive, you may have a
win here. |
