We want Ron Shock back on Television!!! Please. "In fact, one juror wondered why the county was wasting time and money prosecuting the case at all, said a flummoxed Deputy Missoula County Attorney Andrew Paul.
Ron Shock ah, sanity rears its lovely head. of course it is a waste of time and money. all of you who have followed me over the years know my position on this: we should legalize marijuana and tax it. i will even go another step...we should legalize all drugs and instead of locking people up help people break any addictions they may have. i came to this conclusion based on the a certain reality and that is: YOU CAN GET ANY KIND OF DRUG THAT YOU WANT RIGHT NOW. i can go into a strange city and within three hours score, if i so desire, any drug known to man. and you know that is true.
the war on drugs is a miserable failure and they knew it would be one when they started. what it does is give the police untold powers over the populace. drug testing, for instance, is a direct violation of the 4th and 5th admendments to the constitution. it is an illegal search of one's person without a warrent and it is making someone testify against themselves. what ever happened to innocent until proven guilty? a drug test assumes you are guilty until you prove you are innocent.
i have read that the so-called war on drugs has cost us over one trillion dollars so far and i think that figure is grossly understated. we have tens of thousands of people in prison on drug related charges. what does that cost? their families are left, in many cases, destitute and therefore on some kind of assistance from state or federal governments. what does that cost? legalize them and spend only a tiny proportion of money already being spent on treatment instead of incarceration and you save billions upon billions upon billions.
the same goes for prostitution...legalize it and tax it. it is already everywhere (you know and i know and the police know that on certain corners in every city there are hookers standing waiting for customers) if we legalize it, put in red light districts, have brothels then you eliminate pimps and disease. the girls are safe, the customers are safe, the city and state and federal governments get tax revenues. and that would be a lot of fucking money....so to speak.
