From: His Highness the TibetanMonkey, Creator of the Movement of Tantra-Hammock on 6 Jul 2010 11:09 OK, let's leave the Christians alone for a while (while they are busy praying and making money) and face another problem... What are going to do with the cook? How about all those contractors who make a living out of the Prison Industry? It ain't easy, you know... Re: What would happen if we legalized drugs? We have to keep in mind that whether or not we "should" legalize what are currently classified as "illegal drugs", we (through our government) have made the decision that we should spend a certain percentage of our tax revenues on law enforcement and prisons. With only 300M of the worlds ~6-7 billion people, we have over 1/2 of the world's incarcerated population. The infrastructure and personnel needed to process all of these people (start with police, judges, DAs, private attorneys, COOKS, laundry services, energy resources and so on and so on) adds up to a huge amount of money--money which someone out there is perfectly happy to earn. Were we to stop our prosecution of the "war on drugs" think of all the people who would be out of jobs. A few murders here and there and often in foreign countries do not weigh on the mind of the body politic in the same way that unemployment does especially in our current economic climate. I'd propose that a more focused question would be of the form: "Were we to legalize drugs, in what manner would we redistribute the infrastructure and personnel currently utilized to enforce our drug laws?" It's fine to say that the drugs would become a taxable item, but how do you filter the generated tax income to the police officer/ judge/prison COOK who has now become redundant and thus, unemployed? Not saying it's "right" that they are employed, just acknowledging that our penal system does exist, does employ people and does consume resources--all of which contributes back into the system from which it was originally taken in the form of taxes. http://hypography.com/forums/political-sciences/19349-what-would-happen-if-we-legalized.html ----------------------------------------------- THE WISE TIBETAN MONKEY SAYS "Never become an enemy of the cook!" http://webspawner.com/users/MASTURBATIONFORPEACE (safe alternative to drugs?)
From: Mike Hunter on 6 Jul 2010 11:24 We are were we are with drugs, the same place we were in 1932, with alcohol. Judges, Cops and politicians on the take as well as murders, robberies etc., for druggies to get money for drugs. We could eliminate all of that, as well as the importation of drugs through Mexico, buy taking the profit out of drugs by legalizing and taxing drugs by the federal, state and local governments as we do with alcohol today.

PE trainers though are really important jobs to keep the young people busy on something else other than drugs and crime. Then we issue a hammock to whoever is left jobless.

The point is that we plant a lot of trees and consume as little energy as possible, short of riding a bike, which is nearly impossible under the current lawless conditions on the roads. |
