Inspired by two recent threads -

If you had to choose one or the other, would you like to see the US government go after Phone Solicitors and Internet Scammers, or Drug dealers? I for one have never been bothered by drug dealers, but I have to deal with Phone Solicitors several times a day!

Are you talking about only phone scammer that act as solicitors?

Are you asking about the local pot dealer or the ones driving around in Escalades selling heroine to 12 year olds?

The scammers destroy the lives of the elderly. Seeing an 80 year old widow working at McDs because some slime stole her retirement fund is heartbreaking.

The dealers selling hard drugs to children should be eaten by sharks.

I think it more likely that 12 year olds are used to sell heroin because they are less likely to do time.

The next question is, how are 12 year olds finding heroin to sell?

Sorry, but your poll is still too vague. No one ever died from a phone solicitation overdose.
