Can’t blame them. No one else is doing anything.

The shit of it is, if a rancher kills a Cartel member while defending his property, the cartel will wind up killing the rancher AND his family. I applaud the ranchers defending themselves, but they need the military down there.
If a rancher does score a kill, he’d best bury the body, and not mention a word of it to anyone, lest his name get back to the cartel.

Sounds like a Triple S scenario…

Too bad the BATFE won’t help arm the ranchers like they helped arm the cartels.

All of this ends tomorrow as soon as we give up the ridiculous idea that it’s any of the govt’s business if you smoke a joint.

Sebastion No Blog: Yep, I’m sure the Cartels would much prefer to smuggle in lighter, smaller and easier to transport bundles of Heroin, Meth, Coke, etc, all on the backs of Illegal Aliens.

Les: well, end prohibition of all sorts and problem still solved.
Always amazed in my travels on the big IP network how many “stop big govt” types think it’s the govt’s job to tell me what substances I’m allowed to ingest. Surely you don’t deny the causal link between prohibition and govt-created black markets and the resultant violence?
No bigger govt possible than that one, the one telling you which organic chemicals you can have.

Sure, eliminate prohibitions against substances, as long as the penalties for public intoxication, driving under the influence and use by minors remain punitive enough to deter such behaviors. Because I don’t want Smelly McMeth accosting me in the parking lot, or driving with Julie Junkie on the same roads as me, or letting their kids go to school high.

People who are going to do those sorts of things aren’t deterred by the law or the punishments for doing those sorts of things.
I dunno why people struggle with this concept. Doubly amazing to me the number of people who screech at the top of their lungs (and rightly so) that criminals are going to ignore gun control laws but act surprised when they’re confronted with the simple fact that someone addicted to a substance isn’t concerned with the legality of using it…or they wouldn’t use it.
Duh.

This is all a part of the kooky, dangerous foreign policy of this administration and the one before that and the one before that…
Oh no, I didn’t mean that..this is all a part of the TREASON of allowing the INVASION (Article III, Section 3 and Article IV, Section 4) of this adminsitration and the one before that and the one before that…

End the damn drug war, free the POW’s, and then focus on those that harm others.
Not a hard concept folks.

It is obvious and easy, TomcatTCH, but our enemies–on both sides of the border–don’t want it that way.

Drug war doesn’t seem to be slowing anyone down getting anything they want, and it costs much money, many lives, and a lot of our freedom to fail to do so. Look beneath the surface; they’re doing tthis for other reasons, and it just becomes more obvious when they not only blatantly refuse to protect us, as is their duty, but arm the enemy (they were hoping for a twofer on that one).

People opposed to legalization always say that they are worried about the dangers of being accosted by users, or by Doctors who use, as if everyone who wants drugs didn’t already get them.
The same tired arguments for gun control are used by drug prohibition advocates, and they are just as illogical.

The war on drugs, like a war on other THING, is just a pretext for more power and control by government thugs and less freedom for the people.

#9 mikee: Go it one better: eliminate intoxication as a legal defense. Kill someone because you took too much PCP, be tried as if you did it stone cold sober (for criminal negligence, at least, but I think murder 2 would be more apropos; IANAL).
