- I hardly think it is appropriate to call drug sellers "lower forms of life."
- They are simply people who are business men on a black market.
- The correlation with violence is largely false, and partly what is to be
- expected of a black market. They cannot pay taxes, and they certainly do not
- get police protection for their business transactions as other business
- people do.
- I understand the fear, I understand the reasons, but lets not believe to
- much of the propoganda ok? They are no more lower forms of life than
- alchohol drinkers, who use a drug that once was illegal and caused a violent
- black market.
