hey, this is a soapbox kind of topic! but i will show restraint since the drug war is my favorite topic…i do wish to point out, besides your arguments, that just as prohibition not only did not work, it in fact glamorized alcohol to an extent that is contributing even today to the tendency to abuse it, as well as creating a lot of rich gangsters and an extremely organized criminal underground…with the drug war of course, the money made is even more ridiculous (and hard to resist) and can even be enough to finance an army, complete with state of the art hardware…look at the mess in colombia…and the drugs still get in,and still get used…
and what was wrong with putting prisoners to work on highways and bridges and such…
and while we are on the topic of useless expenditure of resources, is any city so free of crime that the police can afford to waste time on arresting hugh grant for soliciting a prostitute, or george michael for cruising men in bathrooms, or peewee for …well, you know…in a porno theatre for pete’s sake?! are these guys really criminals, or just guilty of poor taste?
