Why do Americans do drugs and have more bad behavior than other parts of the world if it's just a personal choice?

Blaming the poor for being poor does not help. Other countries does not depend so much inn police but on other social services, that 'non sense' actually makes a lot of sense and works. Police cannot solved social problems.

So, I agree that voters do not back up these policies. And that is why you get the problems and human suffering that you get.
