On this show, the guys from 3CT discuss how the legalization of vices has often provided scant, long-term societal improvements, particularly at the street-level, despite the promises to the contrary. 

Historically, the government's regulation of vice may have provided it with additional revenue but it has done very little in reducing crime and improving the overall quality of life for those impacted by these previous transgressions of the law.

On this episode, we discuss how our society's long held commitment to individual rights and responsibilities can quickly dissolve when we have the opportunity to judge an entire group based upon the "bad" actions of an individual.  

We also ponder the similar standards of judgement that are often applied to the misgivings of both the police and certain members of the public, despite facts that prove otherwise.

Today's discussion centers on how the struggling economy, the deflated value of the U.S. dollar, crime and the holiday season are all macro-level factors that interconnect to make for many more micro-level issues for the police. 

We also cover a gamut of topics that include;

Poverty and race, the national psyche, inflation, pantyhose and Canadian coinage.

We are also visited by an American bald eagle.

You read that right, so give it a listen.
