Musings of a de ranged mind
How was it that the governement announced the reservation issue before the elections and fuel hike after it....
hmmm. one wonders.
I was planning a seperate post on the power of information, FUD and the greater power of half information.
but the intereseting thing happening today is, drugs and Pg3 parties
I wonder why it never occured to the government to legalize drugs
Its a sound enough economic propostion.
Think of it like this
since time immemorial people have been succumbing the pull of intoxication of one kind or the other.
the kabuli giving you the mandatory grass cigarette, to the opium used in cures.
yet governements shy away from the prospects..
two reasons:
evolution of the minds of the masses. teachers, parents, socioligists, imagine the uproar. I am not mentioning media cause there tend to be rational minds...
what off the lucrative business.
go back to the days of gold smuggling, how much money was made and now its all come down has'nt it
I argue for legalization for the following reasons
1. governtment gains control of the flow - which guarantees to some extent quality, quantity and a fixed price.
2. governtment not politicians make money from this rationalized money flow
our black money is seriously effected.
3. the biggest hit will be taken by terrorists who will have to think of alternate means to fund that odd bombing, training, propaganda, recruitments etc.
4. its like cigarette right. governement makes money on all fronts.
I ofcourse suggest a media dark market - no ads, no surrogates, no banners and more importantly, no packaging.
it will be WOM( word of mouth) power.
i cant wait to see some country trying it out......
oh did i miss, the lowered chance of aids, cause, all the doseages will come in a handy disposeable syringe!!!!!
Till that day, we will have to suffer these kinds of overdoseage, underage trials.....
