[First, we'll make everybody wear grey shirts.]

Other arguments have been made for retaining unpopular ordinances.  An
example is the marijuana trade, which provides a decent income to many
small dealers.  If marijuana were legal, its price would drop and the
trade would probably be taken over by large companies.

Not everybody accepts this kind of argument--try extending it to cigarettes
or cocaine.
