> Actually, it IS a crime to transport drugs anywhere in the world. There >is NOT country that has made it legal. Try the United States -- specifically, the 21st amendment to the United States Constitution, which expressly makes it legal to manufacture, transport, and sell intoxicating liquors in the US, except as restricted by state law. Suppose a ship carrying Kentucky's finest bound for Europe (with the newly relaxed trade tariffs) were seized on the high seas by a Middle Eastern nation wherein consumption of alcohol was strictly verbotem. Now, further suppose the ship's crew were taken back to that nation, tried, found guilty, and sentenced to be jailed for life. Is this justice? How is this tangibly different from the scenerio that has been previously reported here? -- Rob Stampfli rob@colnet.cmhnet.org The neat thing about standards: 614-864-9377 HAM RADIO: kd8wk@n8jyv.oh There are so many to choose from.
