Right on the money but the race baiters and exploiters don't want to hear it and the white apologists won't admit it.

He's 99% spot on. My only departure is his seeming lack of understanding that drugs being illegal creates a market for pushers which adds to the criminal culture.

Ding, Ding, Ding! We have a winner.
The only well known voices with the courage to deal with this are O'Reilly and Cosby. The Washington crowd and MSM either lack courage (Republicans) or are getting re-elected/paid (Dems/MSM)by avoiding the root issue.

He nailed it. Outstanding. Great to hear the truth spoken, even if only once in a blue moon. However, he left out the roll of welfare in driving black men out of the home. Read Charles Murray's "Losing Ground". Yes, its +25 years old, but its not out dated. The welfare state has destroyed the black family, and white families are the next target---with the help of the sodomy rights movement, of course.

The demoncrap party arose from the Klu Klux Klan. Noting violence only made a people stronger, and that biting the hand that feeds is not a common trait, they killed any motivations to get ahead and destroyed black families with welfare, particularly Aid to Dependent Children which has willingly relegated the Black race to a third world existence in the greatest country in the world. O'Reily is totally correct in all he says regarding the Black problem, but he leaves this out.
We may know the time Ben Carson lied, but does anyone know the time Hillary Clinton told the truth?

You do realize that the video is almost a year old, right? As I recall, it cased a minor uproar, and the reverends sharpton and jackson went back to making money off of racism.
This is a shooting forum, there is no place here for logic.

Many don't understand that you can't get rid of something you don't like just by making it illegal and throwing fortunes away.

How would you propose society deal with the drug problem? Genuinely curious as to your solution.

Jordan There are inherent problems associated with liberty. One is that folks will make bad choices for themselves. What's worse, though, is making those bad choices illegal, unless that bad choice is directly to violate the rights of another. If it's primarily something you're doing to yourself, then trying to outlaw it only creates a huge criminal market for it, and a huge criminal culture to fill that market. Along with that comes lots of money in the hands of criminals with which to corrupt our police, government, and ultimately our society. The "solution," therefore, is to repeal all Federal laws that seek to outlaw victimless crimes (none of which are authorized under our Constitution anyway). If states wish to pass or retain such laws, that's less harmful in both the short and long runs, because in the short run folks can move to states that have laws more to their liking, and it's good in the long run because states with ill considered laws will suffer their consequences, thus providing a natural pressure to eliminate bad laws and imitate successful states.

Well put Hawkeye!

But how will this make things better? Everything I've seen and read says drug consumption and addiction (with all its attendant problems and negative externalities) will go way, way up. Are you sure your proposed "solution" won't make the problem worse?

But how will this make things better? In many ways. In addition to the ways I already explained above, there would be no drug war constantly pumping up the police to ever greater levels of power to disregard our fundamental rights. This will save tremendously on the cost of police forces, as well, since drugs being legal will also suddenly be cheap, thus no need for the commission of crimes to support habits, and no gang wars over drugs, since drugs would no longer be particularly profitable in the underground economy.

But what I am interested in is the negative externalities associated with increased drug use. Without question, drug use will skyrocket. How is that a "solution"?

Will you start snorting coke, shooting heroin or smoking meth Rob, just because it's legal?
I know I wouldn't...
