At the risk of harping on a dead horse, some people apparently have a hard time understanding the connection between street violence and their own illegal drug consumption.
White Americans consume most of the marijuana, cocaine, and heroin in the world. But they don't see it as a violent crime because they are so detached from the people who produce it, package it, ship it, wholesale it, retail it, market it on the street or in their dormitory rooms. And they aren't harassed by the police or jailed for it, except in over the top celebrity cases. Who gets shot and goes to jail because of YOUR drug habit? Think about it the next time you're snorting up, and may all your dope be laced with PCP. -- Ross Bender http://rossbender.org
