...Government doesn't make neighborhoods unsafer than crack houses, crack heads and the violence that comes with drug use...

How do you explain that before there was a war on drugs, there was almost no drug-related crime?

Do you disagree with my point?

In the 1950's there was no MTV extolling hedonism to children, the public schools allowed the pledge of allegiance and public prayers, the ACLU was more concerned with the rights of Communists than with pornographers, the youth of the middle class hadn't embraced aristocratic morals, the college professors were not lauding moral-liberalism to our nation's future leaders, and people generally adhered to the kindness of religious morality. Yet all these recreational drugs that are illegal today, which were extant then, were also perfectly illegal then.
