On the heels of Hillary’s recent statements on the drug wars and the effect of American made guns in Mexico I stumbled across this apropo little gem from cartoonist Mark Fiore.
If you haven’t heard I’ll paraphrase what Hillary said on her trip to Mexico:
“I feel very strongly we have a co-responsibility,” Clinton told reporters aboard
her plane on her way to Mexico.
“Our insatiable demand for illegal drugs fuels the drug trade,” she said. “Our inability to prevent weapons from being illegally smuggled across the border to arm these criminals causes the deaths of police officers, soldiers and civilians.”
I couldn’t agree more. Now lets go the next step and legalize drugs. Prohibition didn’t work and neither does this inane make believe war on drugs.

Hey Cynthia, true some of those hard core drugs pack a whammy but at least decriminalizing them will offer people who take them a safe way to do it while cutting out the criminal element.
I only agree with legalizing marijuana. Other drugs are too harmful to legalize such as cocaine, methamphetamine, etcetera.
