I am not saying I am for it, but if this really is the home of free choice --
why not go ahead and tax legal prostitution, tax the snot out of many drugs, etc.
I have been to Amsterdam. All I ask for is that "IF" it is proved that a drug (alcohol) is the reason for the crime, the sentence be automatically doubled and no parole. Steal for drug money (double the sentence - no parole). DWI -- double sentence, no parole. Black Market drugs -- life in prison or death sentence.
