CRIME CAUSED BY PROHIBITION, NOT DRUG USE
Re: "Drugs Fuel Crime Spike", Sept. 20, 2006.
The News Gazette doesn't get it. Crime isn't due to drugs, but rather
drug prohibition.
It is in the same way there was crime not due to alcohol and illegal
distilleries, but rather alcohol prohibition, during the 1920s.
As Al Capone's history in Chicago, Ill. exposes how the original
prohibition was bad, the sequel is worse.
The News Gazette can help lower crime rates by honestly asking
questions, researching and reporting instead of parroting government
and law enforcement's one side of the story.
