Thanks for the good material! It is amazing how people are unable or unwilling to see Prohibition, the War on Drugs and Gun Control in light of basic economic principles (supply, demand, elasticity of demand, etc). For instance, why is there so much reluctance to forcefully address the demand side of the drug problem. We spend billions on interdiction, crop control in other countries, etc. I'm not saying economics provides easy answers. All I'm saying is we need to look at these issues. I guess we are all too wrapped up in the kulturkampf to be able to think outside the box. Ray
