This entire situation is really a non-event and we all need to contact our Congressmen and Congresswomen for a response on where they have the authority to do these types of investigations. I have yet to hear from mine here in Georgia.

No amount of money, police powers, weaponry, wishful thinking or pseudo-science will make our streets safe again; only an end to prohibition can do that. How much longer are we willing to foolishly risk our own survival by continuing to ignore the obvious, historically confirmed solution?

If you support prohibition then you're doing nothing but helping evolve local gangs into transnational enterprises with intricate power structures that reach into every corner of society, controlling vast swaths of territory with significant social and military resources at their disposal.

There are just three groups of people who still believe in drug prohibition:

1. Fairly retarded true believers; ignorant Calvinists that have never lost their vindictive fervor for punitive hatred and who actually think it's better that way. They get high on their own stupidity while protesting the taking of any non-liquid intoxicants.

2. Those who profit from the law enforcement/ prison industrial complex.

3. Those who profit from the manufacture, sale, and distribution of prohibited drugs.

The thing that's really important to keep in mind is that the second group is oftentimes inexorably intertwined with the third group, while they both pretend to be part of the first group.

I have a unique interpretation of the commerce clause that shuts it down to just transactions involving STATES but I don't have the energy to defend it here yet again. Sadly, the language in the commerce clause practically begs the power-mad people in Washington to use it for virtually everything.

Every time I read of its use for crap like this (baseball!), I see red!!!
