DRUGS AT PROBLEM'S ROOT

Why is crime skyrocketing?

For millions of Americans their only goal in life is to try and 
escape reality by consuming today's modified, extremely addictive, 
illegal drugs.

The "war on drugs" is a dismal failure.

Prohibition didn't work. Neither will additional troops or police 
curb the huge demand for drugs.

Stiffer penalties for drug dealers and users has never, or will 
never, solve the problem. This simply drives up the prices, 
ultimately causing greater crimes.

New prison cells are filled before they are even created.

Will society ever understand?

We must find a way to eliminate the big, fast, easy money in selling drugs.

Throw into the mix that each year we allow billions of dollars to be 
spent on advertising the legal drug alcohol, and we now have a 
society filled to the brim full of morons who think it's "cool" to 
become intoxicated.

Far more societal problems/crimes are caused by people under the 
influence of alcohol, than by all the illegal drug crimes combined.

Anyone who doesn't realize that alcohol is for many, indeed the 
"gateway" drug to illegal drugs, are in complete denial.

And how ironic, most Muslims do not drink alcohol, yet they are 
purchasing many of the liquor stores throughout the U.S.A.

Are they outsmarting non-Muslims?

They don't have to bomb people, all they have to do is "get" them bombed.

Drunk drivers are time bombs.

America has truly gone wild.

It has created a killer monster, and it's especially fond of young 
adults and teenagers.
