aphid 0 #1 May 16, 2010 Perhaps maybe Nancy "just say no" Reagan was wrong? I am not an advocate, but legalize it and just perhaps: 1) finance your national debt through refreshing new taxation, 2) reduced profits de-motivating organized crime involvement, 3) reduced burden on law enforcement and the judiciary, 4) reduced expensive penal custody. Just saying... http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=126806429 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Organized crime didn't go away after Prohibition was repealed, but a lot of the liquor smugglers didn't move on to other criminal activities, they just kept doing what they did - making, moving and selling booze - legally."There are NO situations which do not call for a French Maid outfit."

Andy9o8 2 #6 May 16, 2010 QuoteIf we can't even keep drugs out of prisons, how will we ever win a war on drugs. Now there's some mighty high-brow thinking. But let's not stop there. Look at all (well, consider) all the man-on-man buggery that takes place in prisons. If we can't even stop the homobuggery in prisons, how will we ever combat gay marriage? And then how will we ever win the war on the traditional American family? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
