According to Paul Craig Roberts, a former editor of the Wall Street Journal and former Assistant Secretary to the Treasury under Ronald Reagan, "Police in the US now rival criminals, and exceed terrorists as the greatest threat to the American public."

The United States jails a larger percentage of it's own citizens than any other country in the world, including those run by the worst totalitarian regimes.

America re-legalized certain drug use in 1933. The drug was alcohol, and the 21st amendment re-legalized its production, distribution and sale. Both alcohol consumption and violent crime dropped immediately as a result, and, very soon after, the American economy climbed out of that same prohibition engendered abyss into which it had previously been pushed.

Prohibition kills more people and ruins more lives than the prohibited drugs have ever done.
