-Caveat Lector- >People do not do stupid/illegal things because they have guns or knives. There is no such thing as "stupid/illegal." "Stupid" and "illegal" are different words. They have different meanings. To conjoin them is disingenuous. Disingenuous rhetoric is characteristic of the War On (Some) Drugs. >People do stupid/illegal thing when they are in a stupor. Drugs are not the only things that stupefy people. Lies stupefy. Belief stupefies. We have been lied to about drugs by what we nievely believe to be "our own" government. It is not "our" government. It is GOG, the Gangster Occupation Government, puppet of the drug cartels. It is a master of disinformation. It's lies have stupefied us beyond anything the drugs themselves were ever capable of. The drugs themselves stupefy only those who abuse them. The lies stupefy us all. >Guns have been at every one's finger tips for the last 200 years. When I was a kid there was no rules against carrying a knife in school (except switch blades) Kids could get guns from home, but they weren't going to school with guns. I remember that era, too. We didn't carry guns because there was nothing to be gained by carrying guns. This is no longer true. >Guns and knives were ready available for the last 200 years ago but it has not been until the last 45 years after the dope revolution that kids have been murdering kids and metal detectors are in schools. Drugs has been around and in use since Neanderthal times. Never were they fought over until they were prohibited by law. What ever harm they do to those who use them pales beside what the fighting has done to the rest of us. In 1986 I was ripped off for my tools, the ones with which I was feeding my family at the time. There is no doubt whatsoever that they were stolen by a cocaine addict. There is no doubt whatsoever that he sold them to buy cocaine. There is also no doubt that elements of the United States Government aid, abet, profit from and in some cases participate directly in the cocaine trade. Ergo, some of the money that cocaine addict paid for his drug went to the United States Government. This is precisely and exactly the same thing as taxation without representation. Taxation without representation is the single most un-American act possible. To be rid of taxation without representation is the very reason our ancestors ran the redcoats out and founded this nation in the first place. Taxation without representation is plain and simple robbery, nothing more and nothing less. I was robbed. I want my money back. I was robbed by what I was told was my own government. They used a sick man's illness to force him to do their dirty work for them. The way I figure, they robbed him, too. Drugs are for sick people. This man was sick, nothing more. They robbed a sick man of his dignity and of his health. Eventually, so I've heard, they robbed him of his life itself. Drug addiction is a sickness. It should be a matter between the patient and his doctor. There is one reason and one reason only that it is not. That reason is profit. There is no other reason that any of the rest of us should be in any way effected or even, for that matter, know about it. It's none of our business. Billions are made because of prohibition. It has corrupted our society at every level, from the cop on the corner to the very highest office in the land. For the first time in all recorded history it has provided the addict with economic motivation to spread his disease. It has spread like wildfire. The very thing we were told that prohibition was enacted to prevent, it has fueled. We were lied to. Then we were robbed. We are still being lied to and we are still being robbed. Kids carry guns to school, not because of the drugs themselves, not because they are in a "stupor," but because a small but significant number of them are involved in an extremely lucrative business, a business so lucrative that people of all ages, all races, both genders, and all stations in life are willing, and in many cases eager, to kill for a chunk of it. This business never existed until prohibition. The very first day that prohibition no longer exists it too will cease to exist; it will cease to plague humanity.
