before i read the bolded line i was going to say:
alot of hazzards we have, could only be gotten rid of, by just living like cavemen or something, i mean, as long as we have appliances and electricity, there will always be electricution. as long as there are commercially (and more than likely even if it weren't commercially) sold tobacco products, there's always going to be people using them, so there's always going to be people dying from them.

there is no way we could make the world safe, they try but there is no way to even fully 100% protect one person, let alone millions and billions... i really don't think anyone should be able to illegalize anything, i mean all it does, is promote more crime. how can they look at one 'drug' that is nothing more then plant matter, not chemicals or anything added, and say that it's bad because someone killed themselves with it. yet, tobacco kills thousands (i think) daily.

i say give the people whatever the hell it is they want, if they want the drug that bad, they're going to get it, one way or another, illegalizing it does nothing but make more and more crime. if people were allowed to grow whatever plant is that produces cocaine, and marijuana in america, those mexican drug runners that are kidnapping/killing wouldn't have a reason to do it...

if it was so easily otainable here, what would be the point? illegalization does nothing but make more (severe) crime, which makes me wonder if that's why, maybe they can't just live with a happy and secure world, maybe they just can't live in peace. it is in our animalistic-human instincts to be teritorial, and alot of times just down right out aggressive....
