Where does this concept of Legalize Drugs=No Crime. Did anybody watch that movie "GOOD FELLAS", supposedly based on a true story? Even if it wasn't, the concept is real. I am not talking about Ray Liotta's drug dealings toward the end of the movie either. The first part, where they stole the cigarette trucks to resale them. CRIME!!! It happens whether it's legal or not. People sell cigarettes to minors, that is a crime, kids drinking under the legal age, that is a crime. Anyway, I feel that no matter how you look at it, there will always be crime, legal or not. on 5/18/01 9:36 AM, vis-you at mguest@isdn.net wrote:
