America or Mexico: Which the Failed State

There has been a great deal of anxiety expressed in the media regarding the possibility that Mexico is or will soon become a “failed State”, all while tacitly assuming that America is entirely fine. I guess it just depends upon what one considers a “Failed State” to be. You know, there are several ways of looking at it. You know, at least Mexico is fighting. Mexico actually fighting Organized Crime may rather be seen, if not as a positive sign of health, at least as a sign that it is still has a few kicks of life left in it. America, on the other hand, is not fighting Crime in the least, and seems to be entirely surrendered to Organized Crime. Yes, arrests are still made, but such arrests that still take place may simply be made according to the dictates of the Top Tiers of Organized Crime, orders to thin out unwanted competition or unruly subordinates. Yes, it all sounds like Conspiracy Theory, but one does need to wonder why the Mexican Mafia thinks it needs to fight the Government while the American Mafia finds it so easy to coexist in almost complete peace and tranquility. American Law Enforcement and American Organized Crime simply cannot be so cozy together while publicly maintaining to be each other’s worst enemies.

There are several reasons why I suppose the American Government is in collaboration with Organized Crime. First, it would be so easy to simply shut down Organized Crime by regulating currency transactions, that is, by requiring every legal transaction to be recorded and by bar-coding the cash involved and tracking the exact movements and flows of cash money. Such a policy would be relatively easy to implement and it would make money laundering impossible. People would have to account for how they acquired their currency. Criminals can’t do that. Why doesn’t America go in for Currency Regulation and Electronic Transactions Protocol? Well, I would suppose because Organized Crime gives such enthusiastic support to the Political Lobbyist Committees. All that untraced Cash Money has to find a Home somewhere, and I can only guess that much of it gets tucked away at the Nation’s Capital. Oh, it goes without saying that the State Capitols would be corrupt. The State Governments have always been redundant, and only exist to provide slop troughs for the Local Political Pigs. By doubling Government, as America has done with its overlapping jurisdictions of the Big State Little State System, one doubles the opportunities for corruption and exploitation, and therefore makes twice as many of those vultures happy.

Secondly, America could shut down the largest parts of Organized Crime – Drugs and Prostitution – by simple legalization. Yes, yes, yes, every pure hearted Spiritual Seeker abhors Drugs and Prostitution, but we must ask ourselves whether what we are worried about would be any worse than what we have already. In the case of Drugs, if they should ever become legalized, the trashy street drugs we now have with us would soon be replaced by high grade pharmaceutical drugs – designed to have cleaner ‘highs’ and far fewer adverse side-effects. Nobody would continue smoking pot or shooting heroin if better Euphorics were on the market, that wouldn’t ruin one’s memory, slur one’s speech, or shut down one’s digestive track thereby leaving one almost permanently constipated. Legalizing Drugs would give us drugs that we could live with – and be happy to live with.

Legalizing Prostitution. Well, maybe a few Centuries ago we could speak of the affront to feminine virtue. But in a Modern World where the women seem to be in a race with each other to see who is first to toss their virtue aside, then it seems rather stuffy of the rest of us to demand that what they can freely give away can’t form the basis of a contractual agreement for pay. If Men are allowed to sell their manual labor – what they seem to be good at, then why should not women be allowed to sell their physical consolations – what they seem to be good at? And just as with Drugs, legalization would clean up and greatly improve the Industry.

Yes, wives would have to greatly improve their behaviors in order to compete with the Perfections of well trained and affordable Franchise Prostitutes – guaranteed to please and never failing to be polite and companionable. And such competition might be rather healthy, as modern wives seem to be able to find no other reason to diminish their bitter nagging and contentiousness, their willingness to call the police on their own husbands and their constant threat to disgrace their families with divorce, which they so very often actually resort to. Indeed, as it stands now, a Man has got to be an idiot to submit to Marriage, as the institution is now laid forth. Marriage is a hundred Liabilities with not a single lasting advantage. Society needs Legalized Prostitution simply so we can effectively renegotiate the Marriage Contract, giving Women a reason to adopt a better attitude toward their Husbands, and to give men a reasonable alternative to marital enslavement.

Again, if Legalization is such a Good Idea, why isn’t it done. Again, I submit that the Grease the Lubricates the Democratic Process is Untraceable Cash, and Cash resulting from illegal transactions is by its very definition ‘untraceable’. While Visa, Mastercard, or even American Express is good for legal transactions, no one ever has to be told to use unmarked bills for drugs, prostitutes and sizeable Political Contributions. It is a Conspiracy that everyone is in on.
