Cut the Crap!
Rail, plane, car; so what? Tons of drugs come into this country each day by many different means. We all know that drugs are responsible for 99% of all crime. The real-fact is that we could stop drugs if our government would back us instead of trying to prosecute officers at will and yell racial profiling every 15 minutes. The Government favors liberal groups such as the ACLU and other screamers and leaves the majority of our population at the will of criminals.

Have you noticed that most of the screamers are unemployed drug dealers or have a family member dealing drugs?

Yes sir buddy. We certainly do not want to offend anyone; especially dope dealers and other crooks.

This is not so. It is the Prohibition of drugs that causes a black market which sets the price thousands of times higher than normal thus creating a need to rob and steal to support ones habit.

End Prohibition and put all the bastards out of business!

crackdown on trains
To CC-Do you think that if the price of drugs was lowered, and drugs made legal, that unemployed drug addicts and dealers would no longer commit crimes to pay for their habits? Maybe they would steal less, but I see no reason that they would be less violent. Do you think that they are going to become law abiding, productive members of society? I don't think so.

leagal drugs
Given the original form of our Constitution, drugs were legal to poses and use. Hence the cocaine in Cokecola, Chinese opium dens, morphine, and Snake oil. These caused huge problems in society with vagrancy, blithe, and crime. Eras hardest hit were after the Civil War. That������������������������������������������������s when a lot of our Drug laws
started to be proposed or enacted. So a short lesson in American History shows that drug laws or regulation
have proven to be prudent measures to protect the rest of us from people hell bend on distruction.
