Governors, Ganja and Gangsters

http://www.ellwoodcityledger.com/news/local_news/marijuana-legalization-bill-could-change-enforcement/article_7412d6a6-77b0-5265-a558-8f3eb4e4f16d.html#comment-2104184e-76a6-11e2-b2e1-8b7d9104eae2

The choice for lawmakers is simple: Which better protects children from drug sales:

A) Addicts, gangsters and childhood peers passing around drugs on street corners. The Drug War status quo.

B) Regulated, licensed and taxed responsible adult supervised sales and distribution. Legalization.

The morals and ethics of gangsters versus the morals and ethics of responsible licensed, regulated and taxed adult members of the community.

Gov. Corbett prefers to trust the morals and ethic of gangsters to best protect Pennsylvania's children from drug sales.

that the "police" are protecting our children from drug sales. You know, by arresting and jailing all those pot smokers while missing the big dealers of hard drugs. Your tax dollars at work.

I will not buy that one from them. There are plenty of actual criminals who could feed that industry----if there was room.
