Remember when American society had chosen to draw the line that blacks were 3/5 a person and should be enslaved? Or that women can't vote? Amazingly we evolve as a society, our opinions change because of the facts presented. Continuing to throw money at an unsolvable problem is a waste of the limited funds our government, through us the taxpayers, has.
