Our law breakers actually get a trial instead of a bullet.

Would that it would be otherwise, but there you go...

It's odd how it works out when you can't buy off a judge a D.A. or the police very easily, eh?

Sure, if you don't count Yemen, North Korea, China, and Iran.

We had 46 in 2010.

China had 2000.

It harms society directly, and you indirectly, in a number of different ways

I don't think people should do drugs unless they really want to or can handle them, but I also don't think drugs should be illegal. It causes a black market and a poison in society, mainly in the lower class and in poverty. One could argue that is what prohibition was socially engineered to do, to make the "bad guys" so our heroes in government can save us from them

Prison is just how republicans deal with their fear of brown people. It is the new form of slavery and it makes them a lot of $$$$.
