On the demand side, drunks kill far more people than druggies.<br /><br />Supply and demand are like sunshine - they exist whether you like it or not and don't in and of themselves kill anyone. Making popular products illegal is what caused 30,000 deaths, just like Prohibition caused a crime wave in the United States. There's a reason Miller and Budweiser don't settle their differences with bullets.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8597101.post-21287989207582279882011-03-31T01:59:12.334-05:002011-03-31T01:59:12.334-05:00The latest complete prohibitions of, apparently, r...The latest complete prohibitions of, apparently, relatively popular substances, might have something to do with the murders of those people, too. <br /><br />"The demand side of drug economics is actually killing real people."<br /><br />The weapons that our government, our law enforcement officials purposely let be smuggled into Mexico as part of a misbegotten maneuver in a misbegotten "War" are "killing real people", too.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8597101.post-83499710968288892022011-03-30T18:53:38.298-05:002011-03-30T18:53:38.298-05:00I hear you, Angee.

It is belittling a man that pays a fortune in taxes. helps farmers, invests in alternative fuels and is giving the proceeds of his new album to save wild horses from being slaughtered. The man does so much and his pot smoking does not interfere with his being a great American. I didn't see it as a joke and don't think Willie should have to break contracts for a judge's idiotic demands. For the price of admission to a dance place in Dallas we heard Willie perform and he interacted with his fans. This judge is wrong and the Border Patrol should have been on the border doing their jobs. The whole thing stinks.Angeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00323251252533007308noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8597101.post-32863027162955282312011-03-30T15:24:16.468-05:002011-03-30T15:24:16.468-05:00Well, in Houston, if Willie agreed to accept Jesus...Well, in Houston, if Willie agreed to accept Jesus as his personal savior, he could've gotten out of community service in Judge Clinton's court. http://www.foxnews.com/us/2011/03/29/houston-judge-stops-christian-book-report-option-critics-blast-practice/?test=latestnewsAlex S.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8597101.post-46477773035696995222011-03-30T14:29:59.734-05:002011-03-30T14:29:59.734-05:00Grits said Okay, 12:53, I take it back.

It's good stuff and glad you made it available.<br /><br />Course I will say one thing. That $1.1 million generated revenue in justice courts for the number of people in the county is STAGGERING! Does it have to do with it being a 5000 square mile county? I don't know.<br /><br />My county here in NE TX has less than 15,000 and the revenue for 2010 in justice courts was just under $300,000.00.

People already perceive justice in Texas to be a joke...do we really need to add more fuel to the fire? <br /><br />There is nothing funny about our counterproductive war on drugs and the state time and money spent on something as stupid as this. In the grand scheme of 25 billion dollar budget deficits, we should be doing all we can to make our system streamlined and efficient...but hey, I'm glad this prosecutor thinks all of this is a funny situation and is willing to waste valuable state resources in this manner (especially if a mistrial is declared).<br /><br />Grow up.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8597101.post-66855118051400684282011-03-30T08:55:45.970-05:002011-03-30T08:55:45.970-05:00Good grief, Grits.

In the grand scheme of 25 billion dollar budget deficits, a prosecutor's somewhat ill-advised attempt to inject a little levity into a situation that has already been joked about on all the late night talk shows is hardly worth getting all stirred up over.
