- 954: Prohibition in the 1920's
- ... the opposite moral direction that it orginally intended to. With the large amount of illegal alcohol being smuggling across the U.S, orginization is crucial for successful business. Prohibition has increased the amount of organized crime in the U.S. With the increase of organized crime, competition between gangsters has escalated violence levles, in the streets of majors cities, to an all time high. News of gang shoot-outs, competing for new territory, can be found on the front page of almost every newspaper in the country. Prohibition, promising to lead this country from temptation, has delivered it to evil. This is why we need amend the eighteenth amendment; in order to eleminate the organized crime and violence, it causes, from the streets of our great nation. The Federal Council of Churches, which is in favor of prohibition, bases its support on four fundamental considerations. The conviction that no plan ...

- ... anybody could afford it (367). Wilson stated that during 1960s, British physicians were allowed to prescribe heroin to addicts until the number of addicts increased fivefold.

- ... legal system would sentence a person to a life behind bars just for driving through a village at more than 30 miles per hour. In truth we fear drugs because they are a cause of crime, and a symbol of lawlessness. We see them as the currency used by corrupted criminals, masked murderers that execute shady deals in shadowy places during the hours when honest, law abiding citizens are asleep in ... a dirty syringe full of dodgy drugs. For decades Tony Blairs predecessors have attempted to crack down on drug dealers and their antisocial activities in the way that they would with any other common crime. Governments throw ludicrous amounts of money and resources into policing the problem, and locking up those responsible. This approach has failed miserably. So, as drug use continues to rise inexorably, and the average age at ... difference that has been fatally missed by Tony Blair and his moralising ministers. If drugs were legal, prices would come down, the problems caused by unregulated doses and chemical contaminants could be eliminated, and organised crime would be deprived of its major source of income. If drugs could be openly sold at sensible prices, users would be able to fund the habit without having to steal handbags from old ladies ...

This started a chain reaction that escalated to the destruction of the entire park. And so begins the fourth section of the novel.

- 960: The Caning Punishment Issue
- The Caning Punishment Issue Reintroducing corporeal punishment would lower the crime rate and give some justice to the victims. There should be a defined level to the punishment and to which crimes it should be dealt.
