Good thread guys.
As far as American style mandatory-minimum sentencing, I don't really believe in it because you see some crazy sentences for some really petty stuff IE guys in California getting 25-life for something like stealing a piece of pizza.
I would really like to see some tougher sentences here though for violent crimes, I really think theres some people who are not evolved past chimps that need to be locked up for a long time to protect everybody else.
The drug war lol.... should be a thread on its own.
At what point do you look at things and realize that after 70 or whatever years prohibition of anything in a free market only makes it more valuable?
Einstiens quote about the definition of insanity comes to mind........... Chavez blows a lot of shit but he does make some good points at times.
So cocaine comes up from Mexico.... fine. But where do all the guns that the Mexicans kill each other come from? What would cocaine be worth if nobody was using it? Dunno, I just find it ironic that the Columbian farmer growing cocao is barely getting enough to eat............
