TOO MUCH CRIME, NOT ENOUGH PUNISHMENT

The rata-tat-tat of the roaring prohibition 1920s is here anew. We 
again have an industry made artificially profitable by way of our own 
drug prohibition policies. The criminal element proliferates in a 
massive and lawless tax-free lucre zone. Until we take the profit out 
of the hands of the criminals, we will never defeat this social 
problem. Instead, like lemmings, we follow the proven false ideology 
of the "war on drugs." The human capacity to repeat the mistakes of 
history is truly astonishing.
