So where shall we find such a thing?
I ask it rhetorically of course.
99 times out of 100, a country faced with an issue like this will try to find the answer in some form of pride. And it will fail.
I remember it was posted on some other threads.

“Victimless crime.”
The vast majority of people that die of drug overdoses are Clinton voters.
It’s not a coincidence that heroin use has exploded since we’ve been in Afghanistan.
Perhaps its time for Heroin control...
“It’s not a coincidence that heroin use has exploded since we’ve been in Afghanistan.”
Heroin coming into the United States is from Mexico not Afghanistan.

Not only are they Clinton voters they are evidence for the truth in Darwinism.
Stupid is as stupid does.

We need common-sense drug control.
