Quote of the Week: "Just as bootleggers were forced out
of business in 1933 when Prohibition was repealed, making the sale of
liquor legal (thus eliminating racketeering), the legalization of drugs
would put drug dealers out of business. It also would guarantee
government approved quality, and the tax on drugs would provide an
ongoing source of revenue for drug-education programs." ~ Abigail Van
