A Thought Experiment

[unixronin]

Go read the Republican Bush/Rove platform.  Think about it in relation to your political views.  How close a match is it?  How much do you agree with, and how much do you disagree with?

Now go read the Democrat Kerry/Edwards platform.  Think about it in relation to your political views.  How close a match is it?  How much do you agree with, and how much do you disagree with?

Now go read this.

 

Discuss.  There is no quiz, but there will be a final in November.

I can see privatizing police forces. Nothing like a little healthy competition between rivals whom you can sue for non-performance.
Of course, it depends who they're contracted to, and what the contractual parameters are .... with honest local government, this wouldn't be a problem, but these days, I suspect the first criterion would remain "Maximize traffic enforcement revenue for the city."
