This may seem like a dumb question, but if we know full well who these drug barons are, then why aren't they all being locked up? You can't be taking home that much money through such a trade and be getting away with it.

All of our societies are awash with drugs and I find it quite foul. It's up to the individual what they partake in, but I prefer being part of a society where drugs are hard to come by.

Just as the drug cartels have become immune to violence, so too have we become ever more immune from good old fashioned values. I like the old notion of the working man that comes home from a days graft to have a quiet pint. I don't like the notion of the working man that comes home from a days graft to have a pint and then snort a line of coke.

Maybe it's daft for me to think that way considering that both alter the mental equlibrium, but that's just the way I feel. As I get older I get increasingly old fashioned.
