VMANN: more specifically "prohibition" is really mercantilism. this is the "british" economic system wherein the government would grant monopolies on various sectors of the economy to various favored interests. what we see in the drug war is law enforcement being used not to STOP narcotics trafficking, but to enforce the monopoly, while simultaneously forming a pretext for a police state. it's a "win-win" situation! for the bad guys. vigilius haufniensis
