WORK WITH THE DEVIL

Dan Gardner's explanation of organized crime's business structure is cold,
hard reality. It points to the true enemy of society: prohibition. You
cannot regulate or control a commodity that is not legal. Regulation does
not mean approval -- it is a form of harm reduction. Control the manufacture
and distribution of an item and you take this commodity away from organized
crime. Eliminate that control through prohibition and you become complicit
with the same people you are working against.

By not legalizing drugs, you are in step with the drug lords and terrorists
you supposedly despise.
