There was no work to be found anywhere and he had a wife and three kids to feed.
[one had a bad heart and died at 13]
He didn’t even drink.
He ran up the ridge and the sheriff shot him.

So sad.

Prohibition against alcohol did not work. Prohibition against drugs does not work.

By the way, you seen the TV series “Breaking Bad”. My husband and I are doing a marathon viewing of the series now from netflicks. If anything has convinced me that we should end the War on Drugs, this series has done it.

The War on Drugs is a colusion between the “right”, or the larger part of it, and the left. It is legal at the federal level only by the New Deal interpretation of interstate commerce in the Constitution to mean ALL commerce. Even today on the Supreme Court, “conservatives” like Antonin Scalia let the left get away with overregulative murder in commerce power cases just in order to keep their war on drugs going. (Alcohol Prohibition was a constitutionally carved out exception that, once repealed, was ultimately replaced by extraconstitutional prohibition of other substances frowned upon by the churches to gain their support in an unholy alliance to build socialist tyranny.)

They say they are going to turn the Walter White character into an unsympathetic Scarface type. Well, what can you expect when the “good guys” are jackboot thugs acting outside the Constitution?
