P.S. I'm wondering why you have a Milton Friedman quote as your signature, considering he was also against the drug war.

I'm not really a fan of codified constitutions, personally. I also have no idea how Guiliani 'destroyed' amendments to it, nor, frankly, do I care. The issue is zero-tolerance policing - Guiliani being a transvestite (something else I couldn't care less about) has nothing to do with this.
My point is, zero-tolerance policing of low-level crime is welcome in my book. I despise both littering and graffiti, and would be more than happy to see people prosecuted for both. I don't see how enforcement of these laws is an infringement of your civil liberties.
