Drug War

MEXICO CITY – President Felipe Calderon said he would consider a debate on legalizing drugs Tuesday as his government announced that more than 28,000 people have been killed in drug violence since he launched a crackdown against cartels in 2006.

Intelligence agency director Guillermo Valdes also said authorities have confiscated about 84,000 weapons and made total cash seizures of $411 million in U.S. currency and $26 million worth in pesos (330 million pesos).

Valdes released the statistics during a meeting with Calderon and representatives of business and civic groups, where attendees exploring ways to improve Mexico's anti-drug strategy called on the government to open a debate on legalization.

28,000 people in Mexico killed in less than five years. No wonder people are fleeing their home country & coming here, grateful to pick fruit for a dollar a bucket. If you're serious about ending illegal immigration in the United States, then please give the poor fucking huddled masses a better reason to stay in their own countries.

For all of our talk about morality and such shite, let's face it - we are the ones consuming the majority of these drugs & with little to no regard about where they came from and at what cost. It's time to pull the teeth out of these murdering motherfuckers & legalize drugs before they kill again. Demand has won out over intervention. Imagine that...

The war is over and we fucking lost again. Please quit before it becomes any worse.

People are entitled to escape through drugs. We have fucked our planet every which way we could think of and the bill is due.
