BLAME DRUG PROHIBITION

U.S. Rep. Michael McCaul, R-Austin, and The Dallas Morning News don't 
have a clue on how to solve the horror and
misery that is Mexico today.

They naively believe that tougher penalties will have an
impact?

Please. As a retired detective, I know that drug dealers accept, as a 
condition of employment, death and long prison terms.

Drug prohibition is the cause of all the beheadings. To end Mexico's 
death and misery, we need to repeal our drug prohibition just like we 
did in 1933. As women and children are shot dead every day in Mexico, 
it is immoral for our country to continue this failed, 
trillion-dollar modern prohibition.
