Ms. Goodman never fails to deliver, no matter the subject. The Subject. I've thought a lot about this and believe the same thing as the Chief thinks. But there one thing never talked about. While it's true if drugs were legalized, the crime rates would drop dramatically. The Mexican drug cartels would be out of business. Now, where would we spend the billions of dollars that are wasted on all these hi-tech gizmo's that Congress loves to give out to their local voters. How many Police Officers would be laid-off. How about judges. Who needs them. They won't have anything to do. Do you really thing this money bonanza will ever be stopped. How many court staff, prison guards, etc, etc, etc,.will be out of work. Think about it. This has nothing yo do with morals. Not drug ones anyway. It the morals of taxpayer money being spent to pay for this supposed "DRUG WAR".
