I think the "Drug Problem" will never be over in this country until drugs
are legalized.  I think that the DEA and others involved in stopping
the flow of drugs into this country have a vested interest in
keeping enough drugs coming through that their jobs are safe.

I also think that many drug dealers are solidly against legaization
for the same reason.

Remember the bit about moon-shiners reminding preachers to give a
hell-and-brimstone sermon against drinking the Sunday before a vote on
allowing alcohol sales in dry counties?

Politics make strange bedfellows.

Isn't it interesting how the beautiful little red flower in the forest
becomes so ugly when you discover it's a candy wrapper.
