PROHIBITION WORSE THAN PROHIBITED

Dear Editor,

"Those people who say that we're not winning the war on drugs... that
is just rubbish," said Plecas [Gangs waning, says Plecas, May 29,
Langley Advance].

This nincompoop Plecas really gets on my nerves. By "those people," he
must mean the thousands of scientists and historians who have proven
time and time again that prohibition is more harmful to society than
the drugs they prohibit, and that the best way to fix the problem is
to regulate drugs.

But typical prohibitionist balderdash dictates that, even if all the
evidence shows differently, admit that you are wrong.
