Prohibition of drugs. Criminals love to see it. Why do we make their day?

You will know why criminals love to see us prohibit the various social drugs that we and our children consume.

Why did you vote to make their day?

Why are we fighting a drug war against our own children when our intelligentsia pushes for drug legalization so that we can then control in a better way what we and our children consume?

Our children are the ones dying due to our drug war, --- while we adults hide behind legislation that criminals love to see?

What vote where? I think you will find that if there was a referendum then most people would vote sensibly. Politicians know this, which is why they hate the idea of referendums. Referendums means less money in the pockets of corrupt politicians (which they all are).
Big Business interests and kristian nutjobs hate referendums because they take the power out of their hands.

prohibition -> black markets -> organized criminals -> under the table campaign funding -> bought politicians -> prohibition -> black markets -> organized criminals -> under the table campaign funding -> bought politicians -> prohibition, and on and on...

I agree that our crooked politicians hold some blame but it is the rank and file who allow them to wage war on our children.

No argument against this.

Yes. We have a criminal creating system that is likely tied to make work system of the penal system that incarcerates our young and hardens them to keep them in criminal activity.

That is not showing our love for our children. That is in fact the opposite.

True, while we treat our children like criminals when they aren't.
