Media softening the public to accept cocaine legalization
Proclamations about how the 'drug war' is failing are about as old as time. One wonders if cartels can afford unchecked spending how much it would cost to bankroll some interest groups, lobbying outfits and hollywood producers. As Ted DiBiase taught all us young kids through his theme song as a young WWF fan: "everybody's got a price." We're told/sold that the war on drugs is lost, that it's a failure, even though it stabilized Columbia. We're told that after legalizing it, the crime will go down, even though as a drug it becomes an irrational desire, an unchecked addiction. We're told/sold that diseases and viruses will vanish because needles will be plentiful and safe. It's almost the same b.s. marketing around abortion and the pill: that sex will be safe and without consequence and everyone's marriages will improve and that human beings will live in harmony with one another. The liberal dreams are always nightmares in reality, and who knows, perhaps we'll be able to watch the disintegration of our communities at an even faster pace if Czar Obama, Caesar of the Ages, either decriminalizes, legitimizes or ends enforcement against hard drugs. By the time kindergartners are shooting up on the playground, Obama will be busy giving 250k speeches on the lecture circuit, so what does he care.This also demonstrates that the economics of hard drugs, claimed by libertarians that the constricted supply artificially creates the destructive situation where violence flourishes is essentially a completely false premise: more drugs equals more violence. When a commodity is as precious and as desired, no amount of supply is going to stop people from doing whatever it takes to procure it.
