ANd this is not to mention that when discussing Violent Crime in the USA...
our veritable Department of Justice lumps drugs and violent crimes together statistically and damned near invariably as being one and the same or synonmous. In fact, all of the money poured into this farcical war has come as a result of our dimwitted U.S. Congress being made aware of the vast resources available to those moving from south of the border which were in fact actually the movements of our own CIA! No common sense utilized in any reasonable effort to intelligently perceive the evidence presented before them. Just horror at the sheer magnitude of it all. So, here we are funding a war against an enemy purported to have resources even matching those of our own CIA! And conversely, now indeed they do. Asshats.
