RE: What "Government" Does Best
Not my childhood!
I loved CHiPS!
And Adam 12.
I even sorta like the few shows I saw of Miami Vice.
Now, I know so much truth, that I can't watch CSI without wanting to break the TV.
Still, I can't let the "Cops are brave heroes" lie go.
The only reason I haven't gone full "Ban all police officers" is that the still clean up the messes we make on roads. Although I think I could do better with a combination ambulance / tow truck with a killer grabber arm.
Not only could you do a better job, but plenty of people--including me--would VOLUNTARILY pay you to do that, without you having to violently extort us. (And yeah, I liked lots of shows about brave cops too. And movies with dinosaurs in them. Now I think those are equally unlikely to happen in the real world ... but dinosaurs are more likely.)
