The drug war is lost for losers (on drugs). Sorry Tom. I don’t buy it.
All of the civil liberties that we have lost in recent times has been at the feet of the great War on (some) Drugs.
Currently Barry the Kenyan is trying to get us to buy into the idea that all the guns in Mexico is our fault so as to sing us onto some UN gun ban treaty.
Good ole war on drugs here...
Look what happened to organized crime when alcohol was legalized. They turned to other vices.
I have been predicting two events from the liberal presidency: legalizing drugs and the lowering of the age of consent. Any bets?
True, drugs are self punishing. I don’t see why I should be taxed for yet another big government program that is ineffective.
Some cities have under 50% arrest rates for murder, and of those, near 50% convictions for an effective 25% conviction rate for murder. I wouldn’t doubt that rape, break ins, auto thefts are in the 10% rate.
It would be better if those crimes where solved at higher rates.
Drugs are an easy, make work, time eating event for the many town and city union security bureaucracies. Not to mention part of the Lawyer Income Support Act.
You must be from another planet if you don't use caffeine, nicotine, acetaminophen, poultry, sugar, decongestants, antihistamines, etc.
