Regarding the article on Community Conferencing,...


it says "it strengthens communities by showing them that they have the power to resolve their own problems without the intervention of police or officials. "


Um, don't we delegate authority to third party officials in order that they may render justice objectively and uniformly ???

If not, then we DO NOT NEED ANY GOVERNMENT, do we ??

The sentiment here seems to be that we should free up the courts from having to deal with, oh, CRIME... and allow them instead to fart around with the allowed misbehavior of corrupt politicians and with spurious liability cases by whiplashed Baltimoreans, right?
