[Servant of the 9]

you do realize you are all over the place to support your posistion. This may mean that your posistion is not consistant with the facts, but you might be to bias to see that.

My position is that the WOD is a fiasco.
It is economically wrong, socially wrong and morally wrong.

The best way to repeal a bad law is to enforce it ruthlessly.
It is also the fairest way to enforce it.
As long as "The Right People" get multiple chances when they break a law, it will stay on the books, no matter how bad it is, but once you start sending "The Right People" to prison on the first offence, the law is on a short trip to repeal.

"The best way to repeal a bad law is to enforce it ruthlessly."

This is a famous quote. I have no idea if it's true. Do you know of any specific instances in recent times? It may be the most effective way but there are many sitting out mandatory minimum sentences who may argue it's not the best. The idea of enforcing it ruthlessly, including the powerful, is certainly a means of bringing the conversation to a meaningful level.

It is economically wrong, socially wrong and morally wrong.

And I believe the exact opposite. Making drugs legal does grave damage to all three areas you mentioned.

People want and need boundaries.
