Your tax dollars at work!

Who cares if someone is hurting themselves?

Because drug use often results in crimes on others to obtain money to
support the habit, especially with hard drugs like cocaine.


Quiz time, Jim. Think about violence related to the manufacture,
transport and sale of alcoholic beverages. When is the last time you
heard of that kind of violence SPECIFICALLY related to booze?


That has nothing to do with Fred's question. Nice try.


It has everything to do with it. But, I'm not surprised you missed it. Hint:
Forget the words "drug use" and think about the word "crimes". Or,
substitute "violence".

If you do not see the correlation between hard drug use and crimes against
others that is your problem Joe. The subject of the thread has to do with
cocaine, not alcohol.

The high cost of drug use is because it is illegal and the price is
artificially inflated to line the pockets of those in the manu. and distr.
of the illegal drugs. If they were not illegal, they could be sold for
less than alcohol.

The criminal eliminate would hate to see them decriminalize drugs, they only
make money because they are illegal.

Yup, and the other cost is in lining the pockets of the cops and other
law enforcement officials who protect those manu. and dist. Where I
grew up, if you did not feed the cops, you got busted. Even worse if
you tried to compete with their kids for the drug business.

I *DO* see the connection you mentioned. But, you must've been asleep in
high school when the math teacher was discussing set theory. The crimes you
mentioned are a subset of a larger category: drug related crime, in general.
This includes not just the crimes you pointed out, but also those committed
by people who sell drugs. Turf wars, for instance. This is how it relates to
prohibition, and this is why I asked you the original question. Much of the
violence exists because the stuff is illegal. This is why you have not heard
of THIS TYPE of violence related to alcohol.

Do NOT send this discussion off in another direction by pointing out that
crimes are sometimes committed because people are drunk. That has nothing to
do with the legality of the substance involved.

Joe, you are as predictable as the sun rise including your need to turn a
thread OT and to fill it with insults and personal attacks. I choose
therefore not to discuss this any further with you.

The discussion has already been railroad'd into another direction.

I posted the story in praise of the USCG, for rounding up a huge drug
bust.

Even though the smugglers had the stuff out in front of God and
everybody else, the situation still demands an aplause for the USCG,
and their protection of our shores.

for crying out loud. It's an article about the USCG hauling the bigest
drug bust they've ever had. 20 tons of coke!

I'm really amazed that the smugglers had the cargo sitting right on
the top for all the world to see.

that's brazenly foolish.
