[ Another point on the Statue of Liberty project is that it had a
definite ending point. People have visible proof of their
contribution. The courts go on and on, and there is no end of the
cases they would have to hear. I suspect that the futility felt
by not a few policemen would soon be felt by many potential
contributors to Keith's proposed justice system. - CWM]
Do people stop giving to voluntary charities? Doesn't United Way
collect more every year than the previous? And I doubt anyone thinks
there will ever be an end to that!

[ There is light at the end of the tunnel in such charities. For
instance, the March of Dimes raised money for polio research, and
wound up eradicating it. MS victims live tremendously longer due to
research-raising efforts. But there is no end to crime - no possible
rationalization that crime will eventually be no more. - CWM]
