20727, RICO & other things
Posted by guest, Mon Oct-16-00 09:17 AM
Interesting how RICO is ill, janey

'cause the justification for it's creation was to combat the multi-layered organized crime criminal enterprizes...


more interesting is the negative images we have when we hear that--"organized crime." 'cause I forget that organized crime since prohobition, has been all drug running.

if we saw legalization, we'd see mass unemployment, overnight, of organized criminals.


..or perhaps they'd go back to their old tricks of prostitution, and "insurance" rackets.


The mis-handling of substance use in nation causes so many problems. The invention of crimes both in the criminalization of use sense, and in the creating of organized crime venues. The overcrowding of prisons, and the locking up of our young. The money wasting to settle the fears of suburbanites who think "drugs are bad", when drugs just are. Providing new posturing grounds for politicians. Justifying an obsession with crime an punishment or crime in general, because of inflating the number of "criminals" in existance. Justifying xenophobia and the murder of illegal border crossers. Justifying US-sponsored terrorism in South and Central America.
