An excellent post preceeds this in the thread.... A point of personal observaton: I live in a neighborhood where drugs are commonly sold on street corners. When I moved into this neighborhood in 1978, I could hear gunfire about once a year... Now, in 1993, with a much higher police presence, with much higher neighborhood cooperation with the police, with a higher average income and a lower population density, I can hear automatic wepons fire once a month. If drug dealers, the source of these bothersome noises, had to compete with drug stores, they would be out of business in a month. Bootleggers disappeared with the end of Prohibition. /s/ a 'War on Drugs' battlefield correspondent. -- A/~~\A 'moo2u from osu' Jim Ebright e-mail: jre+@osu.edu ((0 0))_______ "Education ought to foster the wish for truth, \ / the \ not the conviction that some particular creed (--)\ OSU | is the truth." -- Bertrand Russell
