Are there more steadfast, more helpful friends of the police, the politicians and the media than the Hell's Angels? I don't think so. If there were no biker gangs, how would the police be able to justify their huge budgets, how would politicians promise to slay the dragon of organized crime and what would newspapers like yourself find to write about? If drugs and prostitution were legal, which they should be if the Charter of Rights means anything at all, the Hell's Angels would disappear. But, of course, that will never happen because the police, the politicians and the media all have a vested interest in continuing these ridiculous laws.
