COCAINE SENTENCES

A Better Idea

I have a better solution than to reduce sentences for crack cocaine 
to the levels of powder cocaine. Why not raise powder cocaine 
sentences to the level of crack cocaine?

This solves the falsely claimed racism canard, yet still keeps 
criminals off the streets.

Why do we not as a society seek higher standards, rather than always 
choosing to "dumb down" our values.
