You know, my first thought was something like, "This anti-drug hysteria made a sick kind of sense in the 80s and early 90s, with soaring crime rates and a need to find something to blame. But with violent crime dropping, why does anyone care?" Then, of course, it hit me. As Rand and others have noted, a government, by definition, has power ONLY OVER CRIMINALS. Fewer violent crimes==fewer criminals==less government power. Solution -- make more criminals. Ladies and gentlemen, our fine nation is threatened by a shortage of crime! We must do all we can to reverse this situation! Mug an old lady, for the good of America!
