The more prohibitions rule all beneath heaven
the deeper poverty grows among the people.
The more shrewd leaders there are
the faster dark confusion fills the nation.
The more cleverness people learn
the faster strange things happen.
The faster laws and decrees are issued
the more bandits and thieves appear (57).

Check out the above article. Very interesting. Personally I feel the gov't should stick to national defense, infrastructure, and law enforcement, and should get out of the prohibition business.

My sig is dedicated to a giant of history who knew the true nature of government. His quotes are as true today as they were in his time.
Perp Reviewed by Perp on . We are appart of a system You're told laws to follow, If you do not obey the system takes your freedom. If you do not stay under a set speed limit on the road the system will fine you. If you consum into your own body a controlled substance you're breaking the law of the United States of America. We must follow this straight line.... That's why I think we smoke to rebel against the system. Turn on, tune in, and drop out I feel like I belonged in the 60's era... Rating: 5
