[Wisdom
from Channeler Rana of Year 2150 AD:
Chapter Six: CRIME AND PUNISHMENT: Booklet “The Prophetess,
Conversations With Rana (and Jon Lake, Ph.D. Student, who went to sleep in 1976
and awoke 174 years into the future in a culture known as the Macro Society),”
Published 1976] [EXCERPT from a larger collection of conversations compiled by
Thea Alexander]
“All
Punishment returns to the person or society that punishes.”
In
America of the nineteen seventies, the largest number of crimes were either
drug addiction or caused by drug addiction. Some of your drug experts claimed
that drug addiction was a fatal disease and that no one who contracted it could
ever be cured. Even your most optimistic drug experts claimed no more than a 5%
cure rate. In spite of their full knowledge of these facts your lawmakers and
law enforcers devoted their major efforts to keeping drugs away from addicts.
This forced addicts to steal, kill, and sell their lives for drugs. Such drug
laws also provided the major support for your organized crime syndicates such
as the Mafia.
