(25,020 posts)It seems to me the tighter the squeeze the worse it gets and the more pictures there are to show.
The tactic has failed, it shows no other impact than turning hill into mountains and fueling a predatory prison industry with perverse incentives to increase crime.
No, emotional appeals don't paper over stupidity. Hell, your pictures are damning evidence of the failure of your prescription. Look how much worse the damage done is under this farcical and cynical bullshit.
It doesn't matter how bad anything is when not only is the "cure" worse the disease but also mutates the disease into far worse than it ever was alone.
Let's recall what the problem is and how it is now after tons and tons of "cure". You tell me how it was worse than it is now or how more of the same is going to fix it all.
Please.
I'm definitely pro-legalization on this stuff especially. Decriminalization leaves all the most dangerous parts in play and leaves open the innocent instead of mitigating and limiting harm.
Vice laws are foolish no matter the vice. They cannot work other than to limit the harm to those involved and to make sure those involved are involved of their own volition.
