In my travels on the ‘net I found quite the gem of Stupid.  It can be summarized with one quote:

Legalization should be recognized for what it is: a cause for corporate capitalists.

Yeah, because Walgreens is just itching to sell cocaine…

Funny thing about it is not long after that line comes another one that completely undermines the “point”:

Drug abuse – that includes alcohol – is not a benign consumer choice, nor is it a byproduct of the law.  It is a social problem, with or without the drug war, and should be acknowledged as such. (emphasis mine)

This has been exactly what many legalization advocates have been saying for years.  There’s a deeper reason that people abuse drugs, one that no law can touch.  We know what the law HAS done though, and it’s been terrible, progressive criticism of the fallout from the “war on drugs” is one of the few things they still get correct.  But there is a lesson to be learned from that, one that applies well beyond the drug issue: the political arena is unfit for addressing what are moral concerns.
