What society really needs

With all the politics lately, you might think I believe Republicans are great. Not so much. Its just that Democrats are worse. However, both parties are fairly stupid. Example: Drug policy. Neither is willing to admit that prohibition doesn't work. Sure, drugs are bad, but putting drug users and dealers in jail with robbers, rapists, and murderers is just as bad. The illegal drug trade has given criminals money for more modern weapons. In fact, gambling and prostitution have similar problems. Making them illegal means real criminals gain access to revenue streams that robbery and protection rackets can't. Its not that I believe these are godly or good activities, its that legalizing them would cut the money gangs get.
