CRIME CAUSED BY PROHIBITION, NOT DRUG USE

Re: "Drugs Fuel Crime Spike", Sept. 20, 2006.

The News Gazette doesn't get it. Crime isn't due to drugs, but rather 
drug prohibition.

It is in the same way there was crime not due to alcohol and illegal 
distilleries, but rather alcohol prohibition, during the 1920s.

As Al Capone's history in Chicago, Ill. exposes how the original 
prohibition was bad, the sequel is worse.

The News Gazette can help lower crime rates by honestly asking 
questions, researching and reporting instead of parroting government 
and law enforcement's one side of the story.
