Re: We bankroll evil through drug use and oil trade.
Well, majroj, well well. You have the experience in that area, so I guess that I have to listen toyour suggestions...Write to Mr. Obama, K?

We bankroll evil through drug use and oil trade.

It is our dollars finding their way to narcolords and oil-rich middle eastern fundamentalists...and Ugo Chavez.

Prison is just part of the life cycle for drug traders, and the people supporting them are not dissuaded at all.

 

How about this: first offense, mandatory rehab and indoctrination then transport to another part of the country than they came from with a four month rent voucher? Tax credits to employers hiring ex-cons, or funding ex-con enterprises?

Second offense: death sentence.

Re:
elinjo, no man nor woman is, huh? Thanks for commenting. We are truly global now and on a spider's web, where movement on one string of the web, makes the whole web tremble, fall or quake.

Re: benzinha
WileyJohn, thanks for reading and commenting. My cousin wants to save muchos bucks and have them all line up against the Paredon to be shot. Prison is too nice, too iffy, too kind a consequence, he says.

I do want the drug traffiking to stop and so far,  only stupid measures have been used, which perpetuate the whole screwed up business.

Desert prisons would be too expensive to cool, according to his reading.

Re: sounds horrendous.
I know, rockingrector, no one writes nationally on this subject, or not enough, internationally, too, to bring it onto everyone's radar screen.

Mexico and many other Central and south American nations are in the same, or worse position. Spiralling downward with horrendous speed and barely held in check, mostly not held.

I say the solution is to build huge prisons in the desert, run military style where people work every day, and house it with every drug dealer governments get their hands on. No parole-ever.!!!

I knew absolutely nothing about this - sounds horrendous.
