So if the seizures get bigger and bigger every year, that means the drug war is working, right?

When you can make something that costs 1$ to make and sell it for $1000 (excluding transportation costs), there is a lot of incentive to deliver the product. No other enterprise in the world has that kind of a profit margin.

I would guess that if one out of 20 attempts makes it through, they are rolling in dough.

Oh, I don't know about that. Have you seen the markup on bottled water lately? Something I buy at the tap for 3.81 per thousand gallons goes for about 2.00 per 12oz the last I looked. Not bad.

I dunno...I think the I.R.S. has a pretty good scam going.

Indeed. And the "they" includes terrorists, since we've decided that decent people aren't to share in the profits.
