DRUG PROHIBITION BY ANY NAME, SAME RESULTS
EDITOR, THE TIMES:
Sometimes I am afraid to say the numbers out loud, but it looks like
for every $1.5 million taxpayer dollars spent on policing and every
two weeks we produce a dead body. Since the first of the year how
many dead bodies have we to date? Don't forget to include the dead
drug-addicted homeless and street prostitutes that die under a bridge
of natural causes.
It's just like a factory and a production line and a just in time
delivery system.
Call it a self-perpetuating, money-burning people-killing machine or
call it drug prohibition - same thing.
