HEADLINE ON LETTER ON DRUGS WAS MISLEADING
Robert Sharpe's Oct. 24 letter, "Drugs cause corruption" was
erroneously titled and misleading because drugs don't cause
corruption, but rather the war on drugs is responsible. As the
original prohibition of alcohol exposed, it wasn't alcohol but rather
the prohibition of alcohol that caused crime. Example, for 10 years
after repeal of the original prohibition, murder rates went down. The
original prohibition was bad, the sequel is much worse.
