Yet it looks the other way as drug money and other illegal activities occur under its nose. Only when the government continually harrasses it with enforcement actions does it try to clean up its act, and then only reluctantly.
Imagine a bar where the owner pays all his taxes and observes all zoning laws but where the police have to go every night to break up a fight because the owner does not police his own establishment. Imagine a swimming pool with clean water and nice facilities but no fence around it to keep little kids from entering and drowning.

Imagine there's no heaven,
It's easy if you try.
No hell below us,
Above us, only sky.
Imagine all the people,
Living for today.
Imagine there's no countries,
It isn't hard to do.
Nothing to kill or die for,
And no religion too.
Imagine all the people,
Living life in peace, you-ooo...
You may say that I'm a dreamer,
oh but I'm not the only one.
I hope someday you will join us,
And the world will be as one.
- J. Lennon
