Somthing to talk about.
I have found by accident, something that folks around here, seem to be able to relate to. I was coming out of Wal-Mart one day, there was a table set up to take some sort of donations. When I ask about it, I was told, it was to keep kids away from drugs. At that point I said, as long as you support "prohibition", you won't keep kids away from drugs. She looked at me a bit weird. As the conversation went on, she told me she had never thought about drugs and the way we make the criminals, the lords over these substances. Then she said, "we are really supporting an ongoing criminal enterprise". Well, I remembered what the lady said. And soon I was speaking to a friend, we of course talked about what the lady had said. So now in these conversations, we bring up this assertion, "If you support "prohibition", you are supporting an ongoing criminal enterprise. We have been pleased by the responses. So maybe it will work for others, to stop the "good folks" from continuing the fantasy. And if you do it right, they seem to understand, and perhaps even win some new voices.
criminal enterprises
consfearacy
This nation`s greatest criminal enterprise is the United States Congress. During what year was the USA constitution put together? During what year did drug prohibition start? During what year did the drug war start? Congress makes a mockery of the USA constitution on a regular basis. This stuff ain`t rocket science. It`s about common sense. Congress just sent 1.4 billion USA tax dollars to Mexico to prop up the drug prohibition regime there. Look at what they`re getting for it. Headless bodies. Will the drug prohibition clowns continue to look for tax dollars to fund their bailout? You can bet on it. A government built on greed and lies is destined to create disaster. Welcome to America. The most wealthy , broke and hypoctical nation around. Uncle Sam is about to become homeless.
