PROHIBITION HELPED
In the letter "Drug War Doomed," (Feb. 20), once again the wonders of
ending prohibition are pushed on us as a reason for legalizing drugs.
What is so wonderful about ending prohibition? Is it the deaths and
suffering caused by drunk drivers on our highways since 1932? Is it
the shootings, fights or knifings caused by drinking? How about the
broken marriages or lives destroyed by alcohol? Then there are the
college binge drinking and riots after football games.
So I guess it all comes down to each and every one of us, on what our
real priorities are.
