| Im pretty sure legalizing all kinds of drugs and giving us the freedom we are entitled to is not extreme, you have just bought into this idea that a world where drugs are legal is wacko batshit insane stuff because you have been spoon fed it by all directions throughout your whole life |

It doesn't matter whether drugs are legal or not, people will still use them.
The fact that they are illegal just causes larges ammounts of violence and death in countries such as Mexico, and that comes with high levels of corruption which destroy any chance of such countries to improve their standars of living, making not just the goverment but the society as a whole corrupt.
I don't like drugs, at all, i think in an ideal world not even alcohol or cigarettes should exist, but we don't live in an ideal world, and unless this "war on drugs "starts to focus on killing consumers all over the world, especially in the US and Western Europe, it can never be won because the money will always be there.
Obviously, something like that will never happen so it's juts nonsense to continue fighting a war that can never be won in any significant way and that just breeds violence, corruption and crime. |

Its funny that the USA media doesn't cover this when its such a huge issue right next door. Simply ignoring innocent lives that your neighbors are losing because most of the demand in the USA. Mexicans are some of the biggest Christian people that I have found and the USA calls itself the biggest Christian country in the world and simply fails to help the people of Mexico.
It doesn't suprise me that the USA is supporting the albanian drug lords in Kosovo while they burn down churches and monastaires and breed taliban to go blow up the world trade centers... |

Those are some pretty hefty claims to be making without a single shred of evidence that goes to your assumption that there is some malicious intent behind all of this. |

Do you live in a cave? Were you alive when the war on crack started? I remember seeing the commercials (I was in 6th grade) and thinking it looked more like advertisements. Crack use among blacks didn't actually explode until AFTER the government started running the "crack epidemic" ads.
If you don't think having a for-profit prison system and a for-profit "health care" system, along with a loosely regulated financial system, along with a government composed of individuals who receive benefits from both, lead to vast abuses of power and rights, then you need to seriously rethink your world views.

Come on, most Americans who care to find out about the drug situation aren't blind to how disastrous the drug war has been in the US and beyond its borders. It's just that there are a lot of vested political and economic interests keeping the drug war going.
One interest group is, as Louder identifies, the pharmaceuticals that make psychoactive drugs. A second interest group is the jail system which is filled and overflowing with non-violent drug users. (For profit prison system isn't so bad. It save money. The down side is that they lobby for more criminalization.) The biggest interest group of all is law enforcement and it annoys me to no end when Police chiefs have the ear of the public as voices of authority when they lobby against drug legalization on safety concerns when it's primarily lobbying to maintain a large fraction of their employment.
Americans don't fail to see the plight of others. It's just that various interest groups have far stronger economic interests to prop up. |

Some purely coincidental evidence is in no way sufficient to show that there is MALICE behind the war, which is what you are claiming. Do people want to make money? Sure, just like you and every person/business in the world, But to say that they are trying to "put down the black man" and that companies find competition with the drug cartels is absurd. Do you really think if drugs were legalized that multi-billion dollar companies would have ANY problem taking absolute control of the market? I think not. This isn't to say people are benefitting from the war, but you could also say people are gaining from the earthquate in Haiti or that companies gained from World War 2. I don't think Ford was giving advice to Hitler (lol knowing Ford tho he actually might of been :D).
You can hate the "war" all you want, but nothing you can bring forth, unless you have some documents from officials noone has ever seen, can meet the bar for slander that you just threw all over the government and medical companies.Last edit: 2010-03-27 03:02:03 |

Actually, prohibiting naturally grown marijuana created a market for artificial THC. There is a large family of psychoactive drugs that get shielded from competition with drug prohibition. But imputing malice and immorality is overstating it. It's simply trying to make money and maximize their return on investment.
And dammit the current US defense industry does lobby for wars.Last edit: 2010-03-27 03:07:45 |

I think there IS ample evidence in the statistics that there IS malicious intent, racially. But that really isn't what I was trying to get involved in with this post, and I'm not going to argue the point.

Hello, I'm from Monterrey and studying on the same college as you. I can tell this events are very rare, or at least used to be. There's a big campaign of fear being done by the media and general population, but as some people said, if you use common sense you'll be fine (I've been all my life). It's not like other countries don't have crime organizations.
The recent event at campus where 2 students died, that only happen because they were on the wrong place at the wrong time... (and it was a bit outside the campus btw, not actually inside). It's like not going to the US only because there was shootings at some school... You can't let your life be stopped by paranoia. |

A huge percentage of our prison system is now privately owned and operated. There have been numerous cases of judges going to prison for wrongful convictions, who were sending people to local incarceration facilities, for kickbacks, etc. It's a joke. Some things are too important to be for profit and private. Some things NEED to be directly controlled by the government, and therefore directly accountable to the people and their elected officials - the penal system, health care, DEFENSE, etc. |
