Rough night!

Career criminals victimize decent family people while they are out of jail doing their crimes.  Then when these career criminals are on the inside these same decent family people have to pay for the career criminal once again.  Kill 'em all and let God sort them out.  Take the money that is saved and help our elderly and infirmed along with tons of other worthy causes.

~Just say 'no' to career criminals.  Hey, you can not rehabilitate everyone.  Three strikes your dead.

Bill,

Certainly,  the repeal of prohabition right here in the U.S.  Of course the Mafia was already loaded with money and organized by that time and so they just diversified  and so it has taken us many decades to pretty much minimalize the U.S. Mafia.

Mike,

I already pointed out one difference between alcohol and drugs.  Other differences include typical usage patterns and potency.  So, comparing prohibition to drugs doesn't work.

Bill,

I have to disagree with you.  Alcohol is a drug no matter how you look at.  Alcohol is simply a "socially acceptable" drug.  Marijuana is not physically addictive in any of it's forms, hashish, hash oil,  whatever.  Cocaine is also not physically addictive.  A Cocaine user might think he has to have it but if  he doesn't get it the body does not go through any physical withdrawels.  Meth is bad.  It is known as "poor man's Coke".  If Cocaine were available(cheaply) you would see Meth virtually disapear.  Narcotics on the other hand are physically addictive and should not be legalized.

Anyway Bill, I think that you are not going to convince me of your opinion and I am not going to convince you of my opinion so it is probably best if the topic were dropped.  You can make a closing statement if you wish.   I will not respond on this topic any further.
