Had lunches with mobsters who run the dope trade, and bookies who send out enforcers to " collect"
Seen a lot of ppl with" tombstones in their eyes"
i realize that there are the good and the bad, but we frequently target the weak as evil.
Dope fiends, whores, pimps, crackheads - they are lost more than bad.
even the dealers don't bother me - they are just supplying a wanted commodity.
Live and let live - do what you want, and let others do what they want, and we'd all be better off

Part of this engrained self-deception that is our country's view on drug addiction. We CREATE crime by criminalizing people who are sick.
Lost more than bad. Yes. Thats what our national policy on drugs should be about. FINDING PEOPLE. Not locking them away.
Glad you got out, rocker.
