AMERICANS WILLING, ABLE TO SPEND MORE ON ILLEGAL DRUGS

Very recent polls claim that seven-out-of-10 illegal drug users in the U.S.
hold down full-time jobs and the largest shipments of illegal-use drugs
arrive in the U.S. on a regular basis as the people in this country are
willing and able to spend more money on illegal drugs than any other place
in the world.

Periodically drug busts are made by law enforcement agencies but they have
amounted to no more than a minor inconvenience to the overall scheme of
things to the illegal drug dealers who become millionaires every day of the
week supplying illegal drugs to satisfy the enormous demand of the people
living in the U.S.

Cocaine, heroin, hashish, marijuana and any number of concoctions that are
being stirred up in back rooms, garages and out of the way places that
guarantee to send the users into a dream world beyond compare, along with
being taken with the right amount of alcohol can also kill you, have
unlimited numbers of people clamoring to buy them.

When the politicians climb up on their soap boxes to attempt to sell
themselves to the voters at election times, can you remember when any of
them have ever mentioned that one of the things they hope to accomplish is
to stop dead in its tracks the huge steady flow of narcotics for illegal use
into the United States?

In addition it also becomes obvious that illegal-drug use is the deeply
rooted cause of car jackings, bank robberies, commercial business and
residential robberies, and emboldens the criminals to display and use an
unnatural amount of cruelty when dealing with other human beings.

What is perhaps the most astonishing fact of all in this whole despicable
mess is the American concept of allowing every citizen of the U.S. not only
the right of free speech, but the apparent freedom to do almost anything
else they want to do, which seems to cover the ho-hum attitude toward the
illegal-drug users and dealers as just a no big deal common everyday
occurrence and the line of the least resistance is the best way to deal with
the matter. Money really talks, doesn't it.
