CONTROL DRUGS, CONTROL GANGS
The massacre of eight Toronto-area men in Shedden, Ont., is
reminiscent of the St. Valentine's Day massacre during alcohol
prohibition in the 1920s and 30s. And it seems this mass murder was
related to drugs. I think it is time for the government to regulate
drugs, and take them away from organized crime. No one can make a
legitimate case for returning to the era of alcohol prohibition with
its violence and corruption. So why does anyone feel that continuing
the same policy with (some) drugs will work?
