Until people of the world get that, there's not much to talk about.
One of the fundamentals that is consistently over-looked/not factored or what-ever IMO is the people making the laws look at the punishment from THEIR perspective. What is a deterrent to a law abiding citizen is not in the least a deterrent to a seasoned criminal. Until we start writing laws and delivering punishment that gets the attention of the seasoned criminal we're just pouring water in a bucket full of holes.
