Because of the liberal drug laws, the Dutch have a marijuana consumption that is half that of the USA. The Dutch have crime rates in other categories that are half of the USA, also. Our politicians would be so happy to have their crime stats. Gary Gall Cambria, California - --- MAP posted-by: Larry Seguin
