I'm watching the Democrat debate from Milwaukee as I work at the computer. Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton inhabit an alternate reality. I don't even recognize their world. Okay, I recognize it, because I used to inhabit it myself, but I find it revolting. Someone submitted a question through social media, something to the effect of, "What are you going to do about the mass incarceration of black men?" My answer would have been, "Encourage them to obey the law." How difficult is it to live a long life without running afoul of the criminal law? Criminal law, unlike morality, lays down minimal conditions. Don't kill; don't steal; don't rob; don't burn buildings down; don't kidnap or rape; don't buy, sell, or use certain drugs; pay your taxes. Thank God for prisons.
