Congratulations, you are reaching the point in life where you figure out that cozy "intellectual" concepts just don't always jibe with the reality we want to live in.
It is one thing for a 20 something intellectual to talk about how the world would be a better place if drugs were legalized, corporations outlawed, blah blah, but as you've astutely observed, it's another thing when your child becomes an addict or when there are no employers to give you a job.
