If you want to do an actuarial study, drug dealers as a group have killed an order of magnitude more than terrorists have. Without drugs, our prisons would be sparely populated, millions of ghetto kids wouldn't be living in crack hell and tens of thousands wouldn't be destitute wards of the state.
Get rid of all the drug laws and the middle class kids won't have to worry about their weekend reefer flings anymore, (except for the 10% that go on to heaver stuff) but millions of more kids are still going to watch their crack whore mom do $20 tricks.
Sorry. No sympathy for these punks. It would be OK with me to watch them swinging from a rope beside bin laden. They both seek the same havoc -- one for profit and the other for Allah.
My sentiments, Exactly!
Eliminate the black market and there is no extreme profit from this business. But this logic escapes the grasp of most WOD warriors like yourself.
