The point of political discussion is not to talk about politics -- what could be more dull -- it's to get politics out of our lives. What activism has the most impact? Amit Ghate argues that there are two particular areas of political activism in particular that would be the most productive -- "if one prefers to engage in activism on specific topics, privatizing education and legalizing drugs are among those which could have the most beneficial impact on society."
One reason for the latter is the endemic corruption the War on Drugs inflicts on police. Paul Hsieh documents the latest case of police corruption made public in Police Corruption in Chicago.

We welcome thoughtful disagreement.
But we do (ir)regularly moderate comments -- and we *will* delete any with insulting or abusive language. Or if they're just inane. It’s okay to disagree, but pretend you’re having a drink in the living room with the person you’re disagreeing with. This includes me.
PS: Have the honesty and courage to use your real name. That gives added weight to any opinion.
