With his history, maybe removal should be applied differently.

There is a certain irony to this whole situation. This article is right next to one telling how New Mexico approved 4 pot suppliers, today. I am against marijuana but, maybe we are fighting the wrong battle.

Legalize, Legitamize, Regulate and the Mexican Cartels will have no profit motive! Can't do that though to much money is made from prohibition! Or is the Gambino crime family still selling whiskey? LOL

These police forces need the revenue from selling property which is not theirs/seizures, local and city governments need the funding from minor arrests in fines and court costs. Prison industrial complex needs more inmates to make money. Plus big Pharma and the alcohol industry dont want "legal" competition. That would be to capitalistic and free market for them kind of like the HC industry!

The agents can sieze a billion tons guess what? If there is demand there will be supply and a proftiable supply for cartels because of prohibition!

End the "Drug War" and prohibitionist madness! Didnt our contry learn this in the 30's when tommy guns were mowing people down and Mafia members made millions?

Guess not.

Just ending the drug war won't be a solution mexico has an organized crime problem a corruption problem if drugs were legal or decriminalized tommorow organized crime would just move on to other profitable crimes. So decriminalizing drugs is not a magic wand.

The moral decay resulting from the drug use is destroying this country, making it legal is NOT the answer; executing drug consumers is.

Absoultly correct! Or perhaps we should start with the fingers on the first or light offense and the larger the offense the more of the appendages are removed. Might even consider starting with the nose.

Why does our government remove these types of criminals from our country just to have them return to commit future crimes, aggravated sexual assault of a child etc. I say incarcerate them or even remove the "cajones" to try to "remove" their child assault tendencies.

ANY study will show you that NOTHING is as profitable as drugs do to prohibition! I remember reading something along the lines of 80% of their income is from drugs! Will they turn to another crime alternative? Probably but without the cash flow from prohibition like any corporation they will suffer. The more we seize the more they make and the more members, power and reach they have!

The US has an organized crime problem THEM! They ARE our problem along with crips, bloods, MS-13, Mafia ect. These groups exist to profit from a black market with inflated prices take that away and take their power. The corruption RAMPANT in the US keeps drugs illegal for THEIR corporate benefit, local gov, prison corporations, alcohol industry, paper industry, Big Pharma ect.. all need drugs illegal, SAME as with the Cartels! Ironic huh!

Moral decay IMO is mostly due to corporations monopolizing and changing people into indentured servants more than drugs! We are just worker bees to these multinationals and they have destroyed living in this country! Drugs don't destroy anything people do, GREED is the great moral destroyer above ANYTHING!

And anyone who has taken an ethics class could point out that morality is mostly subjective and personal, while collective morality exists whos to say what is right? AGAIN corporations and their profit motive! Cigarettes are DEADLY, MJ is not, yet which is legal? Why? Because a multinational corporation owns its lobby therefore owning the representatives!

Exucuting? LOL The the President is to be executed? BUSH? I say yes, Clinton? Your brother? Aunt? Cousin? Thats absurd! Can't fight a war against your own family IMO!

I am all for child rapists getting life! GUESS WHAT? Child molestors, killers, rapists get LESS time than a pot grower! HUH? Yes thats right there is not room in the prisons for REAL criminals because they are filled with non-violent drug cases!

Its these corporate influenced policies that allow rapists and molestors out why? No money to be made or lose from those animals! Its pathetic that the all mighty dollar takes precedence over common sense! Legalize and lets focus on the REAL criminals how about it?
yeahright

Daily Horoscope for December 12

Capricorn

You'll value the chance to have some time to yourself today because you've got plenty to think about and you need some peace and quiet in which to do it. However, this may be easier said than done because certain people are feeling very voluble and they'll be glad of the chance for a chat. You may have to make an excuse if you're really craving some solitude.
