Randy Hekman on Crime

We should all self-police and carry out the Golden Rule

A nation's strength does not flow from its government, it arises from the character of its people. Listen to James Madison: "We have staked the whole future of the American Civilization upon the capacity of each and all of us to govern ourselves, to sustain ourselves according to the Ten Commandments of God." Imagine what America would be like if each of us truly lived in the way described by Madison. If, essentially, we consisted of 300 million policemen and women watching over ourselves as we individually strive to be citizens of character, to be people who carry out the Golden Rule, treating our neighbor as we desire to be treated. If this were the case, how many actual police, judges, jails and prisons would we need? How much welfare and other social safety nets would we have to create? Government could become much smaller.
