Bob,

This is a tough one because, as an agent, how do you deal with the
threatening effect of the drug and alcohol pushers and their secret
capitalist enforcers? I think David Brin's Earth and Transparent Society
has some answers.

Do you recall that a famous Mafia Don once remarked that crime families
and law enforcement were two sides of the same coin? Kissinger would
likely say that a more apt description is that they are two sides of the
same zipper. Every once in a while a social movement occurs to alienate
the denatured crap concealed behind this false reality.

Witness, Kosovo; Littleton.
