If you are operating a vast business throughout the US in all 50 states, and two states begin to take away at least thirty percent of your business. What would you do? Would you concentrate elsewhere and keep all your employees in place, making no changes to your business model? Or, would you move around your employees to maximize your profit?
Thats not how the Cartels operate though. The Cartel doesn't move employees around.
Cartel members act as independent suppliers in an area using the Cartel as their source of supply.
Those suppliers aren't going to quit supplying their dealers that are plugged into them just because they lost a portion of their business.

This is what you do, it's your game plan. You want me to get all upset and waste my time reexplaining things just so you can treat them the same way you did the first time.
You get off on this, you get off on destroying the conversation and making people continue to backtrack and work while you play your games.

What I think would really help is ending the culture of entitlement that keeps many enslaved below the poverty line. Stopping the "war on poverty" would go much further than stopping the "war on drugs" IMO

They go hand in hand. The war on drugs has left a lot of women and children without fathers.
Since the WoD's. the family had declined (all races) and one reason is the incredibly high rates of imprisonment.
Notice when the rate exploded.
You don't think this incredibly high rate, the highest in the world, has a detrimental affect on society??

NEW YORK (AP) — Nearly 50% of black men and 40% of white men are arrested at least once on non-traffic-related crimes by the time they turn 23, according to a new study.
You don't think the problem may be systematic?? While people are in prison (on your dime) you're also paying for their dependents.

So you admit you are mograyback, right?

Is your solution to open the prisons and let convicted felons go free?
Posted on 2/3/14 at 12:19 am to RogerTheShrubber
Well then the real question is, Which came first or which id root cause? I surmise that the entitlement culture developed the need for a war on drugs.

If you gathered that from my post...
Never mind, don't want to get banned.

I'm not an alter.
You're welcome to RA and create a thread on the help page asking to investigate it.
A shame you are the way are, it's a waste.

I think he wishes to abolish the laws that create the felony in the fist place, which also create an environment suitable for crime.

interesting. what are you basing this on exactly other than your own biases?
Posted on 2/3/14 at 12:22 am to RogerTheShrubber
Then why do you keep bringing up the idea that having so many felons locked up is destroying families?
I happen to think those families were already destroyed when the felon committed his crime. Prison is not the cause.

Federal. Government. Policy.
BTW, the gov't allowed coke to be flown in from Nicaragua in the 80's with the Iran-Contra scandal, so they are once again at the root cause of the issue.

The same for you and Roger....

I'm definitely not arguing that point. FedGov is the cause of most problems in this country.

Not being a hot button issue for me, I am trying to form an opinion on the drug legalization topic. The just reported death of Phillip Seymour Hoffman from a heroin overdose has me wondering: Would easier access to narcotics increase the number of ODs annually?
No.
It would reduce overdoses.
Most heroin junkies OD because they get a does that is pure heroin - when they are used to getting doses that are cut double, tripe, quadruple fold. That's right - most junkie OD's don't involve a junkie "pushing the edge" - its a junkie taking what he thinks is his average does but it winds up its a lot more than average. There's very little in all of existence more regular and predictable than a heroin junkie.
