TOO MUCH CRIME, NOT ENOUGH PUNISHMENT
The rata-tat-tat of the roaring prohibition 1920s is here anew. We
again have an industry made artificially profitable by way of our own
drug prohibition policies. The criminal element proliferates in a
massive and lawless tax-free lucre zone. Until we take the profit out
of the hands of the criminals, we will never defeat this social
problem. Instead, like lemmings, we follow the proven false ideology
of the "war on drugs." The human capacity to repeat the mistakes of
history is truly astonishing.
