Goddard says that legalizing drugs and ending the reign of terror in Mexico would just be "replacing one problem with another." For example, adults might start making their own lifestyle choices. Oh, dear! And making informed decisions about what substances to put into their own bodies. Oh, my! Drugs will be regulated and taxed. What a nightmare! Legalizing freedom is the one thing that will stop the murder and mayhem in Mexico. That's the one thing that people like Terry Goddard simply can't allow. - Rita Stricker Chino Valley - --- MAP posted-by: Larry Seguin
