The war on drugs will lead to fascism

‘War on Drugs: Good for Teens?’ - Frosty Wooldridge - Jul 28, 07: “Wooldridge said, “Fortunately, this country has thousands of wonderful citizens who daily go to areas where there are neighborhoods controlled or even terrorized by gangs. They work long hours, encouraging preteens and others to stay in school, not to use drugs and not join gangs. However, they are burdened mightily by the presence of the negative role model of the drug dealer. Who else at 16 has $300 tennis shoes, lots of gold, nice car and a woman on each arm? This image doubles the work of concerned men and women who are helping. “Why should I study hard, go to school so I can make $25,000 as the assistant manager of a Taco Bell when I can make huge money as a drug dealer now?” is a question asked over and over. In a society ever more focusing on the short term, immediate gratification, it is ever tougher to answer such a question.””

Much of what Wooldridge says is true but I really do not see any real solutions offered here. Prohibition of drugs certainly gave the monetary incentive for illegal activity to develop but it is a bit late now to change that mistake. Even after prohibition on alcohol was removed organized crime remained and so will all these gangs remain if you now legalize all drugs.

Drugs come into this country because people are buying them. Until you deal with that problem there is no solution to the Drug problem. Building a fence might slow the drug traffic some but if there remains high demand for the drugs they will find a way to get them here. Many drugs like Meth are home grown anyway.

There are only two real solutions to all this. One is a fascist police state society where government controls everything and everyone and the other is a moral society where almost all people do what is best for themselves and everyone else. Unfortunately we have departed from the moral path and unless there is some great Christian conversion and revival that solution is not in the cards. That leaves only the other option which is fascism. Certainly the police enforcement agencies are helping to bring that about.

Welcome to the future of the World without Christ. If you come up with some other real solution to the drug problem let me know.
