I think more accountability would also help....in some cases. It's already been established that these deranged people in many cases want attention as long as they can get it. If they were to be held accountable...on the spot, they may rethink their actions.
Check out this story: (the short of it)
Man beats girlfriend.
Grandfather tells boyfriend to stop.
Boyfriend decides to attack grandfather.
Grandfather shoots boyfriend.
Boyfriend dies.
Police file zero charges.
Result...accountability mucho tax dollars saved.
The guy probably didn't do it for attention, but I guarentee, he was held accountable.

Today when little Johnny doesn't listen in school, it's a disease. Everything is a disease's fault instead of the persons fault. I too had a listening problem when I was a child. My father had an "over the household" cure. He kicked my ass until I listened. He held me so accountable that it only took one ass kicking to cure my "disease". And he didn't even go to med school!
