Excellent day for drug dealers and cartels. Drugs stay illegal, profits stay robust.
I wonder if this techincal mistake happened because the lawyer that wrote it was under the influence of illegal drugs? Can America take risks like that?
My late grandfather was a bootlegger in prohibition. He told me the lengths to which people will go to get their vice, and how the ruthless smuggler cash in on this desire. Prohibition didn't stop people from drinking, just as with today the prohibition doesn't stop people from using illegal drugs. What the prohibition did do is give the smugglers every financial incentive in the world to subvert the law. Prohibtion harms the law because the black market brings the profit motive to bear against it.
In my opinion, it seems to me that we have not learned the mistakes of the past, and we continue to make the same ones. The so-called "war on drugs" is a misnomer, because it is not a war it is simply public policy. It may be amended or changed without losing face or "retreating." The prohibition gave us gun control and federal police. How many more weakening of constitutional protections must take place before "conservatives" begin to question the efficacy of it all? I am certianly open to debate and I am moderate on the subject, so I don't believe in complete legalization, but rather some more limited steps.
That doesn't seem to matter to loud mouths like you, however. I think you would rather label me as a "druggie" and "criminal." Well, if you think I am such a danger to society, why don't you Freepmail me for my address, put your money where you mouth is and come on down to the house and take me out?
