I’ll go ya a step farther. Why not take some closed military bases, equip them with drug and condom dispensaries, cafeterias, open bars, TV and videogame rooms, and for the 15-25% of the population that has not the slightest aspiration over and above getting out of bed in the morning and then getting high and then just hanging out on a couch all day, these folks could be removed from society and supervised by a modest staff. There would be a small collection of rules and exit and ejection conditions. The cost savings would be phenomenal over what society has to cope with dealing with its various miscreants.
Some 20 years ago, a dear friend of mine suggested a Pharmaceutical Camp; same idea. You want to be a serious druggie-—we’ll set up a Camp Paradise for you, separate from the normal life you’re withdrawding from.
You’re not him, by any chance?
I second that. Some variation on it seems inevitable.
