So how do you make people be nicer to each other?

  Education (in the french sense of the word)? My only specific recommendation I already gave above, and even that is a hypothesis. If I had an answer, I'd be proposing it, but as it is, I've taken the easier path out, by living in the place where I'd found the nicest people, after having traveled a bit. (I don't think one can make people be nicer to each other. At best, they can experience for themselves that things go more smoothly once nature is not red in tooth and claw, and decide to be nicer. That said, legislating morality does work better than one might think: it allows people who might already go along with the legislation to claim to their in-group that they still don't really like the out-group, but are only going along with the law.)

    Why not make people nice to each other first, and then abolish or reduce the police? It seems like that would happen naturally anyway. If huge parts of the police force went idle most of the time for lack of anything to do, the force would presumably reduced after a while.

      Sounds good to me.
