November 27, 2008 NOTE: PLEASE say if you DON'T want your name and/or email address published when sending VDARE email. 11/26/08 - A Texas Reader Sends Thanksgiving Prayers to Ignacio Ramos and Jose Compean A Hawaii Reader Says Mahalo to VDARE.COMFrom: Lee Eisenstein (e-mail
him) Re: Brenda Walker’s Column: Mexican Gangsters Converting America’s National Parks Into Giant Marijuana Patches I read with interest Walker’s
recent article and want to share a simple idea that
might help. Since prohibition causes the Mexicans
to grow cannabis in our national parks, why not simply
end the effort to criminalize
marijuana users and regulate its sales to adults as
the Dutch do? With legal farmers cultivating
marijuana, the black market would become overpriced and
soon would vanish. The illicit profits and corruption
resulting from restricting drugs alone are so enormous
that it really doesn't overstate the case to say that
the so called
war on drugs should be considered a threat to our
political and national security. Your readers may be interested to know
that things over here are pretty good. Everybody's
thrilled and relieved at
Barack Obama's victory and that's the hot topic of
the day. But tourism is way down and people are
finally looking at diversifying our economy. It's
still beautiful and it's
still Hawaii though. Mahalo to VDARE.COM for your
website—great stuff Aloha!
