[QUOTE="wkmac, post: 901129, member: 2189"] And let's not even address the culpability of the US Gov't in even creating that market to begin with. Just read an [URL="http://www.libertariannews.org/2011/09/29/victimless-crime-constitutes-86-of-the-american-prison-population/?mid=529"][COLOR=#ff0000]interesting piece[/COLOR][/URL] of where 86% of the US prison population are a result of committing a victimless crime. In other words, no person was to have suffered a violation of life, liberty or property at the hands of the convicted so there being no victim, where is the crime in the sense of a common law violation? Based on historical precedence, is it likely that at any opportunity in which we ask gov't to do anything for us, regardless of what that is or how noble, the odds of history seem to suggest an unintended consequence of our request to gov't will only increase the % of people thrown into the prison/industrial complex for committing a victimless crime. This also begs the question, strip away victimless crimes and only consider actual crimes against persons and is it possible that over our history of the last 100 years for example that crime as a % of population has actually gone down and thus this constitutes and reduction in the states police powers and presence in our daily lies? Then again, why not like we so often do in the past believe the Noble Lie and let fear grip us so self serving interests can manipulate us but then how could we then complain about the racism in the system if we refused to give it the growth media is needs to propagate. Hell of a dilemma is it not! :wink2: BTW: Another gross manipulation of the African American community especially in the last 60 years was the infamous FBI program call CoIntelPro.
