This is a dedicated thread for discussing article: Money, Money, Money!
Draconian sentences are tried elsewhere in the world, sometimes with success (Singapore, spitting and chewing-gum offences carry prison time; you don't see people gobbing or find chewing gum stuck to your shoe) and other places less so; (Florida - instant 10 years in prison for discharging a weapon at a crime scene. Still has huge gun crime though and the law has little or no impact).
I think education is the key. Keep Britain Tidy was the govt public broadcast message we were inundated with int the early 60s, and it worked. We all got brainwashed to be good tidy citizens. In Australia they had a Keep Australia Beautiful campaign with similar results. So, education, education, education for me.
