4. Law And Order Is An Issue That Resonates With People Across The Political Spectrum

Law and Order is an issue that resonates with people across the political spectrum from flat-out anarchists to Maoists to those few remaining royalists entertaining the Divine Right of Kings (Except, perhaps, those privileged souls with their own private armies of bodyguards). I think we ALL want to be relatively safe, whether we live in a Thirst World kleptocracy, a democratic republic slouching towards that direction, a European-style social-democracy, a "socialist paradise" or a flat-out state socialist dictatorship like North Korea's.

At the risk of annoying certain souls, I think that law and order is a function of government, and that governments that fail to pursue and punish criminals ought to be held accountable by their citizens and, if need be, fired.
