In Mexico the main television studio was attacked with guns and bombs...it's about time. We're approaching the same point this nation did in the 1930s when it repealed Prohibition. You cannot legislate morality...you can teach children, you can create better circumstances for all people and you can be consistent, like not making cigarettes legal while booze, or cocaine, are illegal...especially since more people die from cigarettes than do from hard drugs or even booze.

What's holding things up is corrupt officials who reap huge rewards and hand-outs and kick-backs from drug dealers...the last thing they want is to see the profits from the illegal drug trade wiped out...which is what would happen the day after all drugs were legalized...that's the only way the spread of violence and corruption is going to end.

It was corrupt officials and cops who kept Prohibition going and who would benefit from it today if it returned...just as they profit from the illegal drug trade...it's going to have to happen finally.
