The usual view in the States is that the problem is bribery and
corruption: If we could only get Mexican officials to be honest, the
trade would die out. But, as the reporter pointed out, a government
can't
shut down ten percent of its economy, especially a country that
doesn't
have much of an economy. In short, he said, drugs are a crucial,
almost
legitimate part of Mexico's finances.
Not true. Drugs won't go away because there are a large number of people who need a hobby. A hobby is something that you can spend money on to make yourself feel good about things. The expenditure is a pretty good investment, because you feel good when you make the purchase, and you continue to feel good about the purchase you made. Since we seem to have been breeding a large segment of the population that does not have the intelligence for a hobby, we are stuck with all these people who dare bored out of their skulls. If drugs came free from the government, that would be all right; but they must be purchased at personal expense. But where the hobby purchase continues to be of value, the drug purchase is gone and forgotten in a very short time. Still drug use is of great value to the government. It provides a source of income that no one can audit; it controls a huge segment of the population in one way or another; and it provides a way to keep the vote from a large number of minorities. We couldn't get rid of drugs if we begged on our knees. Prudy <A HREF="">www.ctrl.org</A> DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER ========== CTRL is a discussion & informational exchange list.
