@Daemon: You don't understand though. We don't need to fight back harder. That's counterproductive and flat-out wasteful. What we need to do is legalize drugs, regulate them and tax them. That'll stop a big portion of drug-related illegal activities and the government will make a profit. No need to send people out to die needlessly, or cause further violence that risks escalating the matter into something far more costly and bloody.And clearly you've completely missed the point of Breaking Bad. It's not idolizing a criminal. If anything it shows how our prohibition laws have paved the way for a BOOMING illegal trade market, and smuggling. It shows you how bad we have let things become. There wouldn't be big drug operations like the ones you see in the show if we hadn't given them the means with which to create these illegal enterprises.We don't need harsher measures; We need to stop being stupid. We've spent far too much money on the war on drugs. Too many lives have been lost. The last thing we need is to spend more money on it and risk escalating the violence.You don't fight these things with fire. That's not how real life works.@Evan: Sorry, I lied.

I'm actually in agreement with PepperM1nts as far as making drugs legal and then regulating/taxing them. But not OVER regulation either, the government just flat needs to keep their nose out of our personal damn lives as much as possible. But there needs to be SOME regulation for safety, etc. It would solve a lot of problems, AND might help the US chip away at our friggin monstrosity of a debt that we've built up, thanks to our emperor *cough* I mean president.

THAT is the last I will be saying on the matter of politics, because I seriously don't want to leave Cara a shitstorm of crap when she comes back online LMAO. I don't REALLY want to see a Carazilla. Not directed at me, anyway D:
