    Anyone attempting to control behavior by banning objects need
    only look at history to forecast the results.
    
    At one point in our history, the consumption of alcohol was
    strictly prohibited. The federal government spent millions of
    dollars trying to "control" consumption of those products, all
    in response to the "Public Outcry" demonizing those that misused
    those products.
    
    The truth was, only a small number of people misused alcohol. The
    vast majority of folks continued to consume alcohol at the local
    speakeasy, or they made their own. Supply was never a problem.
    Al Capone and the Chicago gangs made sure that there was plenty
    to go around. Most people ignored reports of the violence surronding
    ths Chicago gangs, because they WANTED the products the gangs supplied.
    
    Does any of the above sound familiar?  You can replace the word
    alcohol with any of the following: Drugs, Guns, Pornography, Etc
    
    Have any drug "Control" laws eleminated the sale and use of Heroin,
    Cocaine or Crack ? If only it were so simple.
