(384 posts)7. The sadness of truth in the justice system.
I think we should have had, by Obama's fourth year in office, about 1000 bankers in prison for life without parole, being paid for from their bonuses. And we should let all marijuana-charged prisoners out tomorrow, and refunding those "criminals" all of their fines they have paid.
How many billions a year do we spend on drug interdiction? How much of that is for pot? How many tax dollars could we raise if marijuana were a controlled legal substance like alcohol or tobacco?
