General Eric Holder told Congress just last week that “the U.S. is losing the war on arms trafficking.”

The war on drugs is a failure and will not survive much longer. It only survives now because fedgov doles out multi-billion$ each year.

When that dries up, the drug war will collapse. You not like it, but that's reality.

Evil comes in many guises bump, thanks!

BARACKRUPT DICTATORSHIP

We need to close the border and let them keep their 25 dollar a pound pot.

Agreed. Congress has constitutional authority - it could argued an obligation - to do so.

Congress has no constitutional authority to impose national drug prohibition. Do you agree?

So yet another newbie drug warrior whose only argument is, when faced with the insanity that is the last 5 decades of the War on Some Drugs, YOU’RE A DRUGGIE!!1!

Weak. Really, really weak.

...There's a whole list of FRisms like that. Another favorite of mine is, maybe you'd be happier over at DU. NAAAA!

By using the Prohibition repeal model, it can be seen that legalizing whatever will cause use to explode.

False.

"alcohol consumption [...] did not increase substantially immediately following the repeal of Prohibition." - Alcohol Consumption During Prohibition, Jeffrey A. Miron; Jeffrey Zwiebel, The American Economic Review, Vol. 81, No. 2, (May, 1991), pp. 242-247

The war on drugs will not end, merely shift to selling drugs to minors and to the use of ever harder drugs.

Suppliers can't create demand by force of will, in the drug market or any other market.

It's puzzling that people seek solutions other than the obvious one of hermetically sealing the border.

That would have no effect on domestically produced drugs.

[JustSayNoToNannies]

Drugs are a weapon and a monetary standard--

A tool for taming a people--

Does that include the addictive, debilitating drug alcohol?

[TigersEye]

As long as it’s illegal it will be $525 per lb. pot here and they will get it through no matter how hard we try to seal the border.

[TigersEye]

It’s not just a weak argument it’s stupid. It’s a fact of life that any substance or object that is prohibited increases in value astronomically and what follows is obvious.

Lol, you probably just got home!
I couldn’t sleep.

All quiet here on the Northern Front -

Front power suddenly went of here today - but I quickly ran PLAN B - an XHD cable to a rear circuit and got my electronics up and running again

.

[potlatch]

Wasn’t quiet here today - in my mind anyway.
I battled computer trouble for 4 or 5 hours just to get online.

Getcher new DELL & desk set up?

[potlatch]

Too bad they didn’t put Whites on there for comparison.
Computer just went down a few minutes ago. May HAVE to set up new Dell tomorrow and it will take days to install all my programs.

I had an illegal white English lady next door to me for years. They knew it but did nothing. She was a terror.

There are some white immigrants that have huge rates

I won’t post them here - but I will say they are largely in the NY-NY areas
