Lunds Note: parenthetical comment supplied by Sun editor DITCH THE DRUG WAR Filling jails and tougher sentencing does not work and the United States is proof of that. There is a solution to the gang problem that no one wants to hear. End prohibition. Drugs are the main source of profit for organized crime. The justice system cannot keep gang members in jail. The gangs are fighting for turf and they are funded by drugs. Let's ditch the drug war. Tougher sentencing is not the solution, and it never will be. J.P.
