Making drugs legal wouldn't be bowing to cartels. It would actually hurt them, because the value of drugs in Mexico would plummet after that sort of move.Harmor wrote:
Its a not a question of if but when the violence in Mexico will spill into the United States. Even if Mexico bows to the drug cartels by making drugs legal, the violence will continue to escalate.
This `Nacroinsurency` will metastasize, unfortunately.
EDIT: Mexican police find car bomb in border city of Juarez; no one hurt in controlled detonation
Another car bomb...this kind of shit you see in Iraq and Afghanistan. How long before we start seeing IED's?

California collapsing would prove liberals are wrong.
Fuck Israel

Yeah... Dilbert, California may have some major socially liberal agendas, but economically, they're very capitalistic.FEOS wrote:

A large part of why California is falling is because of reckless business practices and because of a really dysfunctional referendum system.
If California collapses, it will be more of a statement against reckless consumerism and a terrible budgeting system than anything regarding liberalism or conservatism.
California is a study in extremes. There's not much middle ground over there.Cybargs wrote:

This. Primarily the referendum system more than anything. So it's a failure in pure/direct democracy rather than representative/republican (small "r") democracy. A failure of unfettered capitalism and democracy would hardly suit Bush's agenda.Turquoise wrote:

Bush had no interest in seeing California, the 8th largest economy in the world, collapse. California, a sanctuary state, is doing it all by themselves.Dilbert_X wrote:
