My wife bought me a Harley for Easter.

The government hopefully won't be getting into the business of creating millions of more coke and heroin addicts for profit any time soon.

Enjoy this interview by Stephen Colbert on "The Colbert Report".

I have alway thought that with the taboo and illegality of drugs removed, they wouldn't be nearly as popular. I too agree. Let the gov sell clean drugs at a lower cost and put the money back into something like, oh I don't know, health care for everyone.

Hi DJ,
reckon not? When they have done so well out of the millions of alcohol & nicotine addicts that, according to your logic, they have created already.
Didja ever see the original 1934 movie "Scarface"? Cops & gangsters tommygunning each other and creating the modern mode of organized crime because guys were brewing beer?
Prohibition simply does not work. The money spent on the "war on drugs" may as well have been poured down the toilet.

Because the money would instead go to, oh I don't know, addiction programs for everyone.

Billions has been spent on illegal immigration over the centuries. Shall we wave the white flag on that too, let everyone in?

The money spent on the drug war would cover rehabs, no prob.

Hi Don,
this string has migrated a long way from me whining about getting a chocolate Harley for Easter but ask yourself, if the current US immigration laws had been in force when your forebears had gotten off the boat, which side of the pond would you be living on?

Yes, I agree, we are WAAAAY off the original topic. Sorry for that.

Are you suggestion our country is populated only with Illegal Aliens...noone came here legally? I guess we could always ask the American Indians how well open borders worked for them.



Anyway....I don't eat a lot of chocolate. Hope you don't end up with a stomach ache.
