I took this part of an article that was in our paper recently. Now you really think if drugs were legal all of these problems would stop? Who would even need theses special Organized Crime and narcotics divisions, right?

The plainclothes team -- which recovered 15 pounds of marijuana, $36,000 in cash, a handgun and an air rifle during the raid -- is central to the Chicago Police Department's strategy of hitting drug dealers in their wallets.

The department's narcotics section, which the team works for, carried out 1,311 search warrants last year -- a 270 percent increase over 2008.

Those raids netted:
- $207 million in drugs, up from $138 million in 2008.
- 726 guns, up from 415.
- And $18.6 million in cash, up from $14.2 million.
The department also aggressively pursued drug dealers in court through the asset-forfeiture process, seizing $6.8 million in houses, cars and cash -- compared with about $584,000 of such property in 2008.

another excerpt:

The department's evolving strategy involves recruiting "exponentially more" confidential informants to tell police which drug dealers are stashing dope, money and guns in their homes -- and tip off the police to murder plots, Roti said.
And more than ever, police are listening to dealers' conversations with wiretaps and other forms of electronic surveillance.
The intelligence that police are gathering is allowing them to stop some gang killings before they're carried out, part of the reason for the city's 10.5 percent drop in murder last year, Roti said.

So let's legalize drugs, tax the money that is made on them, and also, a decline in gangs and the murders they commit will happen. That is the answer.

These policeman put their lives on the line everyday to clean the streets up of scum like this. I can't even believe that this would stop if they legalized drugs.

Second part. No, I do not believe a parent should "party" with their children. That's messed up. Come on Fuzo. You think I'm sitting in a run down trailer park, or in the country club, (it happens everywhere), but you think I'm sitting here getting messed up with my kids like some complete looser

Are you asking me if I think you would do that and if so how in the world would you think I would think you would do that anyway. Because if your assuming i'm thinking you would use with your kids your wrong horse,cmon dude. I hope the wording is just used wrong.I think after talking to you and stuff I would know you a little better then to think that
