If It Is The Least Consolation...
The gunman that carjacked the Canadian Rainbirds Jeep, is now way down in the basement shoveling coal for eternity. I don't believe this "chisme" (gossip) to be idle rumor. There was a massive gunf...

Great to hear that the people of Mexico are finally saying "I'm mad as heck and I am not going to take it any more". And I hope the Rainbird's attackers were among the recent casualties. At this point it might not be good for the Rainbirds to see that Jeep again.
Legalization has never been said to be the "cure all". There is no "cure all" for human nature. We had prohibition and we had gun fights so they legalized alcohol and it is still very much a very serious problem. But at least now there is some control and it is taxed. People will always have vices and they always have and there has never been a way to stop them. Legalization will not stop the use of drugs - but nothing else will either - anymore than prohibition did with alcohol. Prohibition brought carloads of crooks shooting Tommy guns out their car windows as they raced down our streets. Legalization of alcohol reduced the slaughter in the streets. Legalization of drugs may not reduce crime or the use of drugs but if legalization of alcohol can be any measure we could see a lower death toll and instead of pouring tax dollars into a war that will never be won (and prisons full of criminals) we may see an increase in tax revenue coming in. This war has been going on for 50 years or more and nothing much has changed. There is no "cure all" and there never will be. But just maybe it is time to try another approach?
