Well, you have a point there. I've gotten speeding tickets myself, so in some sense I'm guilty of breaking the law. I guess my point is this: let's not neglect to enforce the law because we think it's out of proportion. If that's the case, let's try to change the law.

Working to better the system from within is always desirable. But a lot of loud voices are always needed to alert everyone to the cause!

Scream with me:

WE'RE MAD AS HELL, AND WE'RE NOT GONNA TAKE IT ANYMORE!!!!

Uh...I don't think they heard us....

I don’t know - which ever one Serg is throwing a fit over. I guess the ‘war on drugs’ one.

Although a sensational op-ed piece by Penn and Teller hardly qualifies as evidence. Still I like Penn and Teller.

The cause of what? Allowing drugs on colleges campuses? Am I the only one who realizes there’s no leg to stand on in this arguments?

No wonder libertarians never get anywhere in the political process.

The cause of getting laws to make us all safer, not more at risk...violent offenders need longer jail time, non-violent, compliant ones none at all- just MAD community service (Hey! Free street cleaning & soup kitchen workers!!!)

Paint my courts you drug-dealin' bipedisall

I consider getting rid of drug dealers on campus part of that story. No leg.

I think it used to be required by law in some seafaring areas. But they needed it for rope.

Then you were not doing it right.

They apparently made little effort to launder their spoils. One fraternity brother arrested Tuesday drove his Lexus directly from a $400 cocaine sale on campus to a nearby bank, where he deposited the cash, according to court papers.



Here's the article. It described how easy it was for the cops..."all they needed was cash".

When I was in college I never drove my Lexus to the bank. My buddy had a 20 year old Plymouth Valarie with a busten grill...

Seems to me that they were the ones not doing it right Hero.

I got a squeaky clean record, I've put all that stuff way behind me, and I have a whole lot of great memories with my old friends and the many women who were attracted to our party scene like moths to the flame.

No.... I think we did it exactly right.
