ROOT CAUSE IS PROHIBITION

Editor:

Re: Something to talk about, Observer editorial, Oct. 21.

Dialogue?

With cops?

They refuse to listen to or even acknowledge the existence of hard
science which shows that the root cause of all of these problems is
drug prohibition.

All the science, history, and common sense shows conclusively that
prohibition causes far more problems than it solves, and far more
problems than a legal, regulated drug market ever could. Like
religious fanatics, they refuse to listen, refuse to admit a mistake,
and refuse to budge.

The only people still touting the virtues of this insane prohibition
are the police.

Until their lobby power is taken away, this mess will continue to
grow.
